Dealing with hamstring injury
Esteve is questionable for Sunday's match against Wolves due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Mike Jackson, per Matt Scrafton of the Burnley Express. "He just felt his hamstring, it was just a bit tight. I don't think it's too serious, but I've not had a chance to look at it, he just said he felt it begin to tighten up."
Analysis: Esteve is dealing with some complaints from last week after exiting with a hamstring injury, as the defender will now be a late call for Sunday. This is something to watch as the club plays its last Premier League match before relegation, potentially without its lead defender. He has only missed three starts all season, so this would be a major absence, with Hjalmar Ekdal as a possible replacement.
Leads backline in draw
Esteve was injured and subbed out in the 74th minute of Saturday's 0-0 draw versus AFC Bournemouth. He generated one tackle (zero won) and eight clearances before exiting the match.
Analysis: Esteve's eight clearances led the Burnley defensive effort Saturday as they played to a scoreless home draw versus Bournemouth. The talented young central defender has averaged 6.2 clearances per appearances across his last five appearances (five starts) in all competitions. Saturday marked just the fifth time across his 27 Premier League appearances (27 starts) in which Esteve did not play the full 90 minutes.
