The midfielder has yet to make his Clarets debut following his January move from West Ham.
Having remained an unused substitute against Sunderland, the 31-year-old was ineligible to face his parent club at the weekend.
After playing 60 minutes for Burnley’s Under-21s, where he scored a trademark free-kick, it had been hoped the England international would be fit enough to start tonight at Selhurst Park.
But despite making two changes to the side that lost 2-0 to West Ham at the weekend, Parker has opted to only name him on the bench.
Lucas Pires and Florentino Luis are both dropped, as Joe Worrall and Josh Laurent come into the starting XI. For Worrall, it’s a first start since Bournemouth away in December.
