Burnley have been boosted by the news that the ankle injury suffered by goalkeeper Brian Jensen at the weekend is not as serious as was first feared.

Jensen lasted just 15 minutes of the 3-1 home defeat to Wigan Athletic, but may yet be fit to feature against Hull City next weekend.

A short statement on the club's official website read: "Brian Jensen suffered slight ankle ligament damage in Saturday's 1-3 home defeat to Wigan.

"The Danish goalkeeper hobbled off after the bizarre incident that led to Hugo Rodallega's opening goal for the Latics.

"Jensen underwent scans on the left ankle over the weekend, which revealed the injury.

"The Clarets keeper will now undergo treatment on the ankle this week, with no indication yet as to whether he will be fit for Saturday's home game against Hull City."
