DELE Adebola will undergo surgery for a double hernia following Sunday's game against Sunderland.
The giant striker has been suffering with a severe stomach strain since arriving at Burnley on loan from Coventry on deadline day.
And Adebola is now booked in for an operation on Tuesday to hopefully cure the long-standing problem.
However, he still hopes to play some part in Clarets manager Stan Ternent's final game in charge of Burnley this weekend.
