BurnleyMakes first league start
Humphreys registered two shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Everton.
Analysis: Humphreys made his first league start after overcoming injuries and setbacks that caused him to miss the final 13 Championship matches last season with Burnley and 12 games this season, having previously made two starts in the EFL Cup. He featured in a back three and played a role in the clean sheet, contributing three tackles, five clearances and one interception while taking two shots.
Makes bench Saturday
Humphreys (quadriceps) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Humphreys has fully recovered from his quadriceps injury and is set to find a place on the bench for Saturday's clash against the Cherries. The defender missed all matches since mid October and suffered a recent setback that kept him out for an additional two weeks. Humphreys will be a useful depth addition in the backline and is expected to hold a bench role at best moving forward with the Clarets.
Suffers setback
Humphreys has suffered a setback and is a few weeks away from selection, according to manager Scorr Parker, per Matt Scrafton of Burnley Express. "He has a bit of a setback. He's back on the grass, and he's getting there, but it's still going to be a few weeks away. That's the reason Bash has not been involved, so it's not down to selection, it's down to injury."
Analysis: Humphreys has been dealing with a setback in recent weeks, and that has led him to not be involved, last on the team sheet Oct. 5. That said, the defender is expected to miss a few more weeks of action, back on grass but still recovering. Even once he is fit, he is only expected to have a minor role, only making the team sheet four times all season and only seeing the field once.
Plays first half in return
Humphreys (quad) played the first half during Tuesday's Carabao Cup match with Derby.
Analysis: Humphreys made his return from a quadriceps injury, playing the first half of Tuesday's showdown. He was moving well throughout the match, though he was winded late in the half. That's to be expected as he continues to rebuild his fitness after missing the entirety of pre-season.
