West Brom vs Burnley – Team news: 6 out injured for Clarets
West Bromwich Albion welcome Burnley to The Hawthorns on Sunday, 23 August 2026, for an early-season Championship encounter (regular season – Matchweek 2, midday kick-off). It is the Baggies’ first home fixture of the campaign, while Burnley are still searching for a first league victory after their opening‑day meeting with West Ham.
Team News and Injury Latest
Burnley travel to the Black Country with a mounting injury list. The Burnley Express reports that Nicky Hayen’s squad has six players definitely ruled out and two more fitness doubts. Among the confirmed absentees are long‑term casualties Jordan Beyer, Josh Cullen, Enock Agyei, Jaydon Banel and Etienne Green – all missing since pre‑season or earlier. Ashley Barnes also remains unavailable, having only just returned to the club on a one‑year deal and not yet back to match fitness. The two fresh doubts have not been publicly named, but Hayen will have to be resourceful with a depleted squad.
West Brom, by contrast, appear to have no new injury worries after their opening‑day success. The hosts could name an unchanged side from the one that won at Norwich City, with plenty of competition for places in midfield and attack.
