Zinchenko is likely to miss time with a groin injury, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Jak Netting of Vavel. "Zinchenko, after coming off, we'll wait and see how that is as well, that one's going to be touch and go, I think."

Zinchenko had to be taken off the field early in Thursday's UEL match and will now need to pass some fitness tests to be an option again. This is a brutal development for the defender who has already missed six games through injury this season while starting in their past two games, possibly forcing a change just after winning the starting role. He was replaced by Nicolo Savona, a likely replacement if he misses an extended period while Ola Aina is out.
