The winger was not included in the Clarets’ lineup for Tuesday night’s 2-1 victory over Luton Town, raising questions over whether he might have sustained an injury.
The 22-year-old is healthy and ready to go, according to Burnley manager Vincent Kompany, who was speaking ahead of this weekend’s trip to Turf Moor.
“I believe that we now have many players who are on par with one another, which is a fantastic thing, so occasionally we might have to leave one guy out, put them back in, and then leave another player out.
“We always try to start with the starting XI we believe is best suited to win a game, but there are a lot of players behind that,”
When asked if his squad came through the fixture unscathed, Kompany said: “Mostly. I think we’re still assessing so over the next 24 hours we’ll find out more.”
Elsewhere, Hjalmar Ekdal, Johann Gudmundsson, Manuel Benson, Nathan Redmond and Michael Obafemi all remain sidelined.
As for Chelsea, Moises Caicedo is expected to be fit despite picking up a slight knock during the 2-0 win against Fulham on Monday night.
Mykhailo Mudryk also suffered a thigh injury during that game and the full extent of the setback is not currently known.
Ben Chilwell is out until December with a hamstring injury, while Malo Gusto remains suspended. Reece James, Christopher Nkunku, Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana are among those also still unavailable.
