Burnley boss Dyche: Heaton a great pro

Burnley boss Sean Dyche appreciates the professionalism of Tom Heaton.

He has looked after himself well enough to ensure he has played 137 matches in a row since his Clarets debut.

That run could come to an end at St Mary's if he cannot beat the calf strain that ruled him out of England duty last Tuesday.

“He's an excellent professional and he buys into the culture and environment here," said Dyche.

“Not just the football side but the support of the football side, the dietary requirements, the strength and conditioning and he's used that wisely."
