What's the latest injury news?
Cardiff City look set to be without Lee Peltier for the next 2-3 months, after the full-back suffered a dislocated shoulder in the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend, but there are otherwise no fresh injury concerns for Neil Warnock.
Aron Gunnarsson has returned to training this week, but Sunday's game looks to have come too soon for him to be in any kind of contention. Long-term absentee Nathaniel Mendez-Laing remains sidelined with a ligament injury.
Meanwhile, Burnley are without Robbie Brady, who's due to appear for the under-23s as he continues his bid to return to full fitness, while Ben Gibson (hernia) and Nick Pope (shoulder) are both ruled out.
NEIL WARNOCK:
28/09/18
INJURIES:
"Peltier’s not got to have an operation which is the good news but it’s still going to be between two and three months. Obviously it came out of the joint and they managed to put it back in without operating and the surgeon thinks he doesn’t need a plate and he’s got more of a chance of healing naturally."
"He’s in good spirits as is Mendez who’s got the brace off. Gunnarsson is training this week but I don’t think he’ll be anywhere near fit for Sunday but he has trained and he’s looked well. He’s shown us what we’ve missed over the last few weeks. There are one or two little niggles but that’s all."
Gunnarsson
NEIL WARNOCK:
"Yeah it’s been to build it back up again."
" He’s had a couple of little knocks now. We thought he’d be okay for the Chelsea game but he had another knock in training and sod’s law it’s in the same place so we’ve had to take him back a little bit."
"We’re crossing our fingers that this time it’ll be okay."
Lee Peltier / Aron Gunnarsson & Mendez-Laing are all out injured.

About BurnleyBurnley Football Club is a professional association football club based in Burnley, Lancashire, England. Founded on 18 May 1882, the team originally played only friendly matches until they entered the FA Cup for the first time in 1885–86. The club currently plays in the Premier League, the first tier of English football. Nicknamed the Clarets, due to the dominant colour of their home shirts, they were one of the twelve founding members of the Football League in 1888.
Burnley have been champions of England twice, in 1920–21 and 1959–60, have won the FA Cup once, in 1914, and have won the Community Shield twice, in 1960 and 1973. The Clarets also reached the 1961 quarter-finals of the European Cup. They are one of only five teams to have won all top four professional divisions of English football, along with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Preston North End, Sheffield United and Portsmouth.
In the 1920–21 campaign, Burnley were crowned champions of England for the first time when they won the First Division. During that season the team embarked on a 30-match unbeaten run, which remained an English record until it was beaten by Nottingham Forest in the late 1970s. Burnley attained a second league championship in 1959–60 with a team consisting of mostly youth academy graduates, winning the title with a last-day victory over Manchester City, after foundations were laid by pioneers Alan Brown, Bob Lord and Harry Potts.
Just twenty years later, in 1979–80, Burnley were relegated to the Third Division — the first time in their history they had played in the third tier of English football. Five years later, the team competed in the Fourth Division for the first time following another relegation, and on 9 May 1987 only a 2–1 home win against Orient saved Burnley from relegation to the Football Conference and a possible dissolution. Burnley won promotion in 1991–92 to the third tier and again in 1999–2000 to the second tier, before being promoted to the Premier League in 2008–09, 2013–14 and 2015–16.
Burnley have played home games at Turf Moor since 17 February 1883, after the club had moved from their original premises at Calder Vale. The club colours of claret and blue were adopted prior to the 1910–11 season in tribute to the dominant club of English football at the time, Aston Villa. Their current manager, Sean Dyche, was appointed on 30 October 2012.
Previous MeetingWe last played Burnley in a Championship fixture in April 2016 at Turf Moor. It finished in a 0-0 draw.
