Sean Dyche expects stand-in skipper Ben Mee to be in contention for Burnley's home clash with Stoke on Tuesday.
The centre-back missed Saturday's victory over Watford at Turf Moor, which kept the Clarets within a point of the Champions League places, because of a knee problem.
Matt Lowton also missed a third consecutive game with a knee injury and is more of a doubt for the next Premier League game in three days' time.
After a 1-0 victory on Saturday - Burnley's eighth of the season - Dyche confirmed: "Lowts is touch and go, but I think Ben will have a chance."
Ahead of the game at a snowy Turf Moor, which increased the Clarets' lead over Watford to six points, Dyche had said Mee took a knock in the away defeat at Leicester that required "a couple of stitches just above the knee".
Of Lowton, he said: "Matt is making good progress but it's touch and go with the game quickly afterwards on Tuesday."
Scott Arfield scored the winner for Burnley after Marvin Zeegelaar saw red and cut his side's numbers down to 10.
