(Reuters) - Burnley defender Phil Bardsley could miss Saturday's Premier League match against Cardiff City after sustaining a freak leg injury while playing head tennis with his team mates, manager Sean Dyche said on Thursday.

Bardsley suffered a cut to his leg after striking the edge of a table during the game in training, forcing him out of last Saturday's 3-1 victory at Bournemouth and leaving him in doubt for their next league match.
