Scott Arfield is "brave enough to take the outcome'' of the penalty miss that denied Burnley their first Premier League win of the season, according to Sean Dyche.
Burnley boss Dyche revealed he will not even raise the missed spot-kick with Arfield after his side's 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Palace wasted a glut of chances before Mile Jedinak wrestled Lukas Jutkiewicz to the ground in the box, gifting Burnley a clear opportunity for victory.
Julian Speroni pulled off a fine save to deny Arfield however, whose effort was just central and high enough to hand Palace's stopper the edge.
Burnley manager Dyche said Arfield will suffer no ill effects of the miss that cost his side two points in south London.
"That's just the way it is,'' said Dyche. "If you're brave enough to take it, you have to be brave enough to take the outcome.
"He's terrific: a terrific person and a terrific player. I haven't even mentioned it to him. It would be sad if it was the end of the world if a person missed a penalty, it would be a weird place to live.
"He's a terrific lad, the lads admire him for his work ethic and his quality - and so do our fans. It's just one of those things.''
Dyche also admitted the club will face a nervy 48-hour wait for news on striker Danny Ings' hamstring problem.
"He just snapped his leg down, and his hamstring was tight,'' said Dyche. "Because it was a sore one we got him off straight away and hopefully that will help his recovery. But it will be 48 hours before we'll know.''
