Sean Dyche's Burnley are on a seven-game winless run

Burnley manager Sean Dyche will miss Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie against Huddersfield Town after testing positive for Covid-19.

Burnley have not indicated that an outbreak has affected the club.

The Clarets had three games postponed in December because of Covid cases at other clubs.

A total of 17 English top-flight games have been postponed since the start of December because of the impact of the Omicron variant.

The Premier League announced on Monday that 14,250 Covid-19 tests were carried out on players and staff between 27 December and 2 January, with 94 positive results.

This was the first week-by-week decrease in positive tests for eight weeks, with a record 103 positives recorded the previous week.
