Burnley manager Owen Coyle is hoping that a trio of players will be passed fit for the second leg of the Coca-Cola Championship play-off final at Reading.
Winger Wade Elliott missed Saturday's 1-0 win over the Royals due to a leg injury sustained in the final-day victory over Bristol City.
Joey Gudjonsson took Elliott's place against Reading but he was the victim of a heavy challenge by Michael Duberry and was substituted midway through the first half.
The other concern for Coyle is playmaker Chris Eagles, who jarred his hip on Saturday and was replaced in the second half.
All three men will be assessed as the Clarets seek to book their place in the play-off final at Wembley on May 25.
