Burnley midfielder Hannibal faces four months out following hamstring surgery
Summary

Burnley manager Nicky Hayen confirmed that midfielder Hannibal will be sidelined for at least three to four months after undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury. The injury was sustained during a match against Bristol City, forcing Hannibal to miss the recent 1-1 draw with Wrexham. Hayen also provided updates on a depleted squad that features several unavailable players including Jordan Beyer, Bashir Humphreys, Josh Cullen, Enock Agyei, Jaydon Banel, Dastan Satpayev, and Ashley Barnes. Jacob Bruun Larsen sat out the Wrexham fixture due to a heel issue but is expected to return in the near future. Additionally, Anel Ahmedhodzic was pulled from the starting lineup against Wrexham shortly before kickoff after falling ill.
