# Burnley given selection boost ahead of West Ham game

Burnley have been given a selection boost ahead of Saturday’s clash with West Ham at the London Stadium.

Aaron Lennon has got over a sickness bug, while Sean Dyche will also leave it late to make a decision on the fitness of Jack Cork.

The 29-year old had played every single Premier League minute for Burnley last season, and ended his run of never missing a minute since signing from Swansea in 2017 when he was withdrawn early against Chelsea last weekend with an ankle injury.

However, Dyche is hopeful that Cork will be fit to face the Hammers. Talking ahead of the game, Dyche said:

> Corky we’re hopeful on, we’ll find out more on Friday, he’s had a couple of down days to let it settle. Lennon is over his sickness, but a few other members of the squad have been struck down with a 24 hour bug.

> There’s been a little bit of sickness knocking around, Aaron Lennon is well again now, but a couple of the other lads have had a bit of that, only the 24-hour type.

> Azza was quite poorly for a couple of days, but the other lads have had 24-hour things so I’m pretty sure they’ll be fine.

West Ham will be hoping to get their season back on track this weekend, having not won a Premier League game since they beat Manchester United in late September.
