Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior confirmed Brazilian prospect Estevao Willian will miss Saturday's Premier League meeting with Burnley at Stamford Bridge after feeling "awareness in his hamstring" in training. The club are scanning the injury and Rosenior said Willian is unavailable for the game.

Rosenior named Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez in attack, with Andrey Santos partnering Moises Caicedo in midfield. Robert Sanchez starts in goal behind a back four of Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah and Malo Gusto. Rosenior, who has eight wins from 11 matches since replacing Enzo Maresca, urged his players to stay focused and consistent.

"Every team can beat everyone... What we have to do is we have to focus on our own performance... Our process is the same," he said. Burnley boss Scott Parker returns to Stamford Bridge and called the visit a special occasion, reflecting on his time at the club and praising Rosenior's development.
