Clarets sweat over duo

Burnley duo Brian Jensen and Martin Paterson are doubtful for this weekend's FA Cup clash with Arsenal.

Pair struggling with dead leg injuries

Burnley manager Owen Coyle fears Brian Jensen and Martin Paterson could miss this weekend's re-arranged FA Cup clash with Arsenal. Goalkeeper Jensen and striker Paterson picked up knocks in Tuesday's 1-0 win at Blackpool. The pair suffered dead legs at Bloomfield Road and they face a race against time to be fit for the fifth round trip to Emirates Stadium. "Brian's got a dead leg, as has Martin Paterson, and that's why I took him off in the second half," said Coyle. "There are a number of concerns, but we'll see how everyone is ahead of Sunday's game."
