Burnley head coach Scott Parker has confirmed that he is working with a "pretty full squad" for Saturday's opening Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur in North London.
The Clarets boss did not name names when speaking to the media on Thursday, although it can be assumed that Jordan Beyer, Martin Dubravka, Zian Flemming, Connor Roberts and Bashir Humphreys have recovered from their pre-season knocks.
However, Zeki Amdouni is still on the mend from his ACL problem, while Benson Manuel was plagued by Achilles problems throughout last season and is not expected to be involved either.
Flemming is one of two new signings vying to lead the line alongside ex-Chelsea man Armando Broja, but owing to both men's recent fitness issues, Lyle Foster could get the nod at the tip of the attack.
A Tottenham reunion likely awaits former Lilywhites youngster Marcus Edwards, who ought to line up on the right-hand side of the supporting cast while Hannibal Mejbri and Jaidon Anthony complete the attacking quartet.
Further back, a Clarets Premier League debut could come the way of Lesley Ugochukwu alongside captain Josh Cullen in midfield, while former Spurs man Kyle Walker and Quilindschy Hartman should also earn Burnley baptisms in the full-back areas.
Still donning the claret kit despite links with an exit, Maxime Esteve ought to form the central pairing with Hjalmar Ekdal, as Martin Dubravka guards the posts for the newly-promoted outfit.
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Dubravka; Walker, Esteve, Ekdal, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu; Edwards, Hannibal, Anthony; Foster
