However, speaking ahead of tomorrow’s return to Turf Moor, the Clarets boss did suggest there could be some positive news for at least one of the three.

“Maybe one of the names you mentioned [could be back], but for the rest I don’t know,” he said.

“Everyone got their load on Wednesday night and we have our training session on Friday leading into Fulham and that’s when we’ll have the complete picture.”

Kompany added: “It didn’t look like we picked up any injuries [from the Man City game], so for us it’s just about making sure we get the recovery spot on.

“It looks like the team is ready to go to Fulham.”
