Flanagan is not in the 18-man squad to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Flanagan played a full 90 minutes during the midweek league cup, but he's apparently still not high enough on the depth chart to have much of a fantasy impact.

Flanagan may be in contention for Saturday's match at Chelsea after playing a full 90 minutes at Accrington Stanley in the League Cup.

While Flanagan could draw the start, this isn't a great opportunity for him and the Burnley defense as they'll be at Chelsea.

Flanagan is unavailable to play on Saturday against Liverpool due to his loan agreement with the clubs.

Flanagan's fantasy upside likely wasn't that high anyway against the high-flying Liverpool attack, so there aren't likely many fantasy manager affected.

Flanagan will not be in the side for Saturday's match with Swansea, the BBC reports.

Flanagan joined Burnley on loan from Liverpool recently and has yet to acquire the full fitness levels that are needed for an EPL match. He should see future playing time once his fitness is at the appropriate level. Expect to see Matthew Lowton and Ben Mee at outside-back for the Clarets on Saturday.

Flanagan tallied an assist, one cross and one dribble in Sunday's 1-1 season-finale draw to West Brom.

With the pivotal Europa League final just around the corner manager Jurgen Klopp rested the starters and deployed a very young team versus the Baggies. Flanagan was given the credit for the assist on a brilliant Jordon Ibe's run. Flanagan has been praised often by Klopp and with a little bit more peppering and a healthy pre-season, he could earn a more prominent role in the future. Flanagan ends the season with one assist and two clean sheets in five Premier League games.

Flanagan started for the first time since March 20 and held Watford scoreless in a 2-0 win for Liverpool.

Flanagan hasn't seen much time this year and he'll likely be relegated to the bench again in midweek against Chelsea. Either way, a clean sheet will be harder to come by in that match as well for the Reds.

Flanagan started and won six tackles while securing six interceptions in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Manchester City.

Filling in for the resting Alberto Moreno, Flanagan was exceptional on the defensive side of the ball versus a dangerous City attack. He is unlikely to stick in the lineup, however, and Moreno will likely return to the lineup Sunday versus Crystal Palace.
