Burnley defender David Edgar will be assessed ahead of the televised Lancashire derby with Blackpool.

Edgar only returned from international duty with Canada and a succession of long-haul flights late on Thursday morning and caretaker manager Terry Pashley is cautious over his involvement.
Danny Lafferty and Sam Vokes came back from spells with Northern Ireland and Wales unscathed, while Vokes' fellow forward Danny Ings has resumed full training following knee surgery this week and could play a part against the Seasiders.
"Danny Ings has trained tremendously well for two days," said Pashley. "David Edgar has got a long trip back.
On Lafferty and Northern Ireland's shock 1-1 draw in Portugal, Pashley added: "He's buzzing. It was a great result for them."
Despite looking after the Clarets squad on a caretaker basis following the departures of Owen Coyle and Brian Laws, Eddie Howe's exit has handed Pashley his maiden opportunity to take charge of a first team game.
