Burnley captain Ben Mee ruled out Clarets clash with Brentford

Burnley captain Ben Mee is unfit to face Brentford in this weekend’s relegation clash.

The centre-back missed last Saturday’s defeat to Chelsea with a shin injury and has yet to recover for the trip to London.

“Ben Mee will need some time, certainly not a few days, but hopefully not too long,” said manager Sean Dyche.

“The rest will benefit him. We thought it was a knock (but it was) a very minor situation on his strand of hair, not bearing the weight, but it still needed care.

“It was a real blow for him and a blow for us because we thought it was just a butt and in the end it was more than that, even though it wasn’t anything. something too drastic.

“It just needs a little more time to calm down.”
