Burnley midfielder Hannibal is facing a significant setback after undergoing hamstring surgery. Manager Nicky Hayen confirmed the player will be sidelined for at least three to four months. This injury occurred during a recent match, forcing Hannibal to miss the draw with Wrexham.
The Clarets are currently dealing with a substantial injury list. Beyond Hannibal, Jordan Beyer, Bashir Humphreys, Josh Cullen, Enock Agyei, Jaydon Banel, Dastan Satpayev, and Ashley Barnes are all unavailable.
Jacob Bruun Larsen also missed the Wrexham game due to a heel issue. Hayen expressed optimism that Bruun Larsen's absence will be considerably shorter, describing the pain as being 'under his heel.' However, he acknowledged the cumulative effect of these injuries.
Anel Ahmedhodzic was another player affected by illness, forcing a late change to the lineup before the Wrexham match. Hayen noted that Ahmedhodzic was feeling unwell, contributing to the team's unfortunate circumstances.
