Ashley Barnes is due to see a specialist for further investigation on the groin injury that has hampered him in recent weeks.
Barnes has battled on with the problem and is likely to miss only his third Premier League game of the season at Chelsea on Saturday.
But the striker – who has scored six top-flight goals so far this season – hasn’t been 100 per cent fit and the Clarets want to ensure a full recovery to get him back and firing for the run-in to the season.
“He has been trying to get through a period with an over-use injury, so that will get checked out,” confirmed manager Sean Dyche.
