Targeting return for Leeds game
Hannibal (hamstring) won't be an option for Sunday's game at Nottingham Forest and is targeting his return to face Leeds United on May 1, according to manager Scott Parker. "Mejbri is edging closer but will miss this weekend, heading towards Leeds is a better option," he said.
Analysis: Based on Parker's timeline, Hannibal would miss the games against Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, projecting him to return for the first weekend of May. Mejbri had started each of Burnley's last seven EPL matches before the injury, so his absence has been greatly felt. Lesley Ugochukwu should remain in a starting role in midfield as long as Hannibal remains out.
Out several weeks
Hannibal will be out for several weeks due to a hamstring injury, according to coach Scott Parker. "Hannibal no, he is probably a couple of weeks away and it wasn't as bad as we initially thought, but it will take a little longer."
Analysis: Hannibal was forced off with an injury in the last match against Fulham, and medical tests revealed a hamstring issue that will sideline him for several weeks. The midfielder had been a starter prior to the injury, so his absence could be felt, with Lesley Ugochukwu expected to see increased minutes until he returns.
