Burnley handed injury boost
It was a miserable night last night for Burnley who were beaten 2-1 by Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup.
But they were handed a major boost as Belgian Steven Defour made his long-awaited return from injury.
He’s set to be in contention to feature against Cardiff at the weekend.
Speaking to the Clarets’ official website, Defour said he’s desperate for a run of games to get back to full fitness.
“I enjoyed today, not the result, but I enjoyed playing with the lads again and I hope it can continue like this,” said Defour, who played for 74 minutes after returning to fitness following knee and calf injuries.
“It was a great feeling to be back on the pitch in a competitive game.
“It felt really good. I have waited so long for it. It’s been a really frustrating few months to get back.”
