Burnley's pre-season injury jinx struck again during a 0-0 draw with Montpellier at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon.
Robbie Brady, who was playing for only the second time after recovering from knee surgery in December, was taken off after 40 minutes of the match after pulling up and clutching the back of his left leg.
Manager Sean Dyche later insisted the substitution was precautionary, but the news comes just three days after goalkeeper Nick Pope suffered a shoulder injury during Thursday's Europa League game with Aberdeen.
Jeff Hendrick was the only survivor from the XI that started the first leg against Aberdeen with Sam Vokes, who scored from the bench in that game, also included from the start along with Ashley Barnes.
Before his injury, Brady had tested Montpellier goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte with a free-kick and Vokes, who completed an hour of the match, volleyed a Kevin Long flick-on just over the bar.
Burnley goalkeeper Adam Legzdins kept out a late effort from substitute Giovanni Sio to ensure the game finished in stalemate.
Elsewhere on Sunday, Kemar Roofe scored the only goal as Leeds beat Spanish side Las Palmas 1-0 in Marcelo Bielsa's first home game in charge of the club.
The game was settled in the 86th minute when Kalvin Phillips flicked on a Pablo Hernandez corner and Roofe scored from close range in front of more than 11,000 supporters at Elland Road.
Rangers continued their preparations for the new Scottish Premiership season with a 3-0 win over Sky Bet Championship side Wigan Athletic.
Steven Gerrard's side took the lead through Alfredo Morelos' close-range header after 52 minutes before doubling their advantage when Nikola Katic headed in a corner four minutes later.
The third followed six minutes later when Umar Sadiq challenged Chey Dunkley in the air and the ball beat Christian Walton - though the last touch may have come off the Wigan defender.
Will Grigg saw a penalty saved by Wes Foderingham 13 minutes from time as Wigan's pre-season campaign ended in defeat.
