Sean Dyche hoping for double injury boost as Burnley prepare to face Sheffield United at Turf Moor

Both wingers missed Burnley's defeat to Leeds United on Sunday, with McNeil hurting his groin and Brady tweaking a hamstring recently.

Dyche's men face a rapid turnaround to the game against the Blades, and Dyche hopes to call on the injured pair against Chris Wilder's side.

"With the two games in three days we have had to make a judgement call on that. I think they both have a chance," Dyche said.

"We had the fatigue element of two games and what it might do when you are coming out of a minor injury so we made a decision on that.

"They have got a chance I would say for the next one."

But Matej Vydra, Jack Cork - the son of former United man Alan - and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are all unlikely to play against United.

"I doubt any of them will figure," Dyche added.

"Vyds has got a nick on a muscle in his back and I am surprised that it has taken a bit longer to settle than we hoped for.

"Corky is making very good progress but we have to make sure he comes back fully fit because he has been out a while.

"Johann is just getting back to that freedom to go and play. He has had so many niggly injuries that we have deliberately made a decision with him to take him away from it.

"It allows him more training time, he is getting game time in reserve games, and he can build up until he can have that mental freedom to know his body is 100 per cent and he can just play, be free-flowing, sprint, recover and do all the things the game needs."

Dyche was left "incredibly frustrated" after the 1-0 defeat at Leeds, claiming key decisions went against his side.

Patrick Bamford's fifth-minute penalty proved decisive after he was adjudged to have been fouled by Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Burnley were denied an equaliser in the 17th minute. Ashley Barnes turned the ball home, but referee Robert Jones had already blown for an alleged foul by Ben Mee on goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

Dyche, who had spoken to Jones after the match, said of the disallowed goal: "Ben Mee does nothing other than clearly attempt to win a header. He doesn't even look at the man.

"The keeper comes out, knees him in the back, drops the ball and somehow that's a foul on him and it's an impossibility, even allowing for the protection of keepers.

"So I'm incredibly frustrated, and lots of other decisions, but they're two very important decisions that have gone against us."

"Popey got the ball," Dyche added of Leeds' penalty. "You can tell by the trajectory of the ball, so I'm amazed... no I'm not amazed, because at the very top of the game they've said they want more penalties.

"There is a directive, I understand that, but ironically we've only had one in 24 games, which is bizarre in itself."
