​Burnley boss Dyche: Pope injury looks serious

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is not optimistic about the injury suffered by goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Burnley were involved in a UEFA Europa League qualifier with Aberdeen on Thursday night, when Pope suffered a shoulder injury.

He collided with the knee of his teammate James Tarkowski in the 18th minute of the game.

And his manager believes that he could be out for some time.

"Nick has a shoulder injury," he said to Sky Sports after the game.

"We'll have to wait and see but it looks to be more serious, rather than not serious."

Burnley did fight back from a goal down to get a 1-1 draw in the game, which gives them a vital away goal.
