Burnley are facing a pre-season injury crisis as their goalkeeper Nick Pope was rushed to hospital after a shoulder injury.

Pope suffered the knock to his shoulder during the Europa League clash against Aberdeen. The game finished 1-1 in Scotland.

Pope connected with his teammate James Tarkowski's knee in the 13th minute of the game, resulting in a serious shoulder injury.

He was rushed to hospital after appearing in considerable pain.

The Premier League side had suffered an injury setback before the game too - with keeper Tom Heaton suffering a calf injury.

Burnley now have two weeks to sort out their goalkeeping situation, which will be problematic if neither Heaton nor Pope are fit to start the Premier League season.
