Burnley manager Sean Dyche confirms that club captain Ben Mee will not be available to face Norwich City on Sunday as he is still not fit enough.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has confirmed that club captain Ben Mee will be unavailable against Norwich City this weekend.

The central defender has been out of action since the defeat against Leicester City on Tuesday, March 1 when he suffered a hairline fracture of the fibula.

Erik Pieters is also dealing with fitness issues right now, and even though both men are close to returning, Sunday's match will come too soon for them.

"Ben and Erik are beginning to make progress," Dyche told the press.

"Not for this week but for West Ham United, we will wait and see. They are with the physios and sports science and then it is how quickly they can get out with us so there is a possibility."

Burnley are currently 18th in the Premier League table, and a victory could take them out of the relegation zone if Everton fail to capture three points.
