MICAH Hyde and Graham Branch will both make statements to the Football Association later this week to answer their respective charges.

Hyde has been hit with a charge of violent conduct following the tunnel bust-up against Leeds United at Turf Moor 10 days ago, while Branch will plead his case after being accused of making abusive or/and indecent gestures towards Derby County supporters at a game in August.

Clarets boss Steve Cotterill said: "Micah has to put a statement in and Graham has too, so I would imagine they will be done within a week."
