Burnley boss Sean Dyche is adamant being in Europe can only be positive for the club.

Despite talk of a long run in Europe having a potential impact on domestic displays thanks to the Thursday-Sunday schedule, Dyche insists seeing Burnley in Europe can be nothing other than a positive.

“The inside view is of course it is to be embraced, no one was even thinking of Burnley in Europe, it didn't cross their mind, including me, five and a half years ago," the Turf boss said.

“The building blocks had to be put in place to even get close. Now it's a reality. That can't be anything other than a positive."

Burnley are preparing for a Europa League playoff clash with Aberdeen.
