Burnley defender Anel Ahmedhodzic will miss 12 days following a concussion sustained against Charlton.

Burnley defender Anel Ahmedhodzic was ruled out for 12 days after suffering a concussion in Tuesday's match against Charlton. Head coach Nicky Hayen confirmed the injury would require the player to follow the mandatory concussion protocol.

Ahmedhodzic was forced off late in the Charlton fixture, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Charlton scored a 96th-minute equaliser, denying Burnley what would have been a valuable home win.

Hayen expressed confidence that other players could step up to fill the void left by Ahmedhodzic's absence. He indicated that Max Alleyne and Hjalmar Ekdal were options to replace the defender. Burnley faced Wolves on Friday night, seeking to improve their home record in the Championship season.
