Pope was part of England's squad for the World Cup in Russia

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope appears to have sustained a "serious" shoulder injury during the Clarets' Europa League match against Aberdeen, says Clarets manager Sean Dyche.

Pope was withdrawn during the first half after colliding with Dons' striker Sam Cosgrove.

"We'll have to wait and see but it looks to be more serious, rather than not serious," said Dyche.

The second round qualifier first leg finished 1-1 at Pittodrie.

Pope, 26, impressed for Burnley last season, making 35 league appearances and keeping 11 clean sheets.

He was then named in Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad and made his England debut against Costa Rica in a pre-tournament friendly at Elland Road.
