The defender is not involved in the game against Leicester City and Clarets boss and missed out with a toe problem which meant he didn’t feature in the Carabao Cup against Sheffield United in midweek.
Claret fans have taken to social media claiming they believe their centre back is West Ham-bound according to Lancs Live.
West Ham have submitted their final offer of £35m to Burnley with a £30m transfer fee and £5m of add-ons
With just 24 months on his Turf Moor contract and about to turn 28 next month that offer could be too good an offer for the Burnley board to reject in the current climate.
With no other active bidders, David Moyes is hoping he has his man as early as next week as he hinted on Friday.
