Everton manager Frank Lampard has confirmed that Manchester United loanee Donny van de Beek will miss Wednesday's huge Premier League clash with Burnley because of a thigh injury.
The Dutchman, who joined the Toffees on loan for the remainder of the season in January, was forced to pull out of the warm-up ahead of Sunday's clash with West Ham United at the London Stadium. He had been named in the starting line-up to face David Moyes' side put pulled up ahead of the contest getting under way and was replaced by Mason Holgate.
Holgate scored after being handed a late starting berth but it was not enough to stop Lampard's side from falling to a 2-1 defeat. It means that they will head into the clash with Burnley just four points and two places ahead of them in the table.
