Burnley boss Sean Dyche: Andre Gray can't expect instant return

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Andre Gray can't expect an instant return.

Last season's top scorer is available again this weekend with his four-game ban coming to an end, giving Dyche a decision to make over how he sets his team up against Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.

“We've enjoyed the way we've looked," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

“A lot of people think I changed it because of his (Gray's) absence, I changed it at Leicester before he was absent, I felt the team needs to be flexible in its planning.

“I've been pleased with the 4-4-1-1 but there is still scope to change it back, I do like playing with two centre forwards but it's nice to know we do have that flexibility when we need it."
