Burnley boss Sean Dyche still has faith in Steven Defour.

He is still yet to complete 90 minutes in 16 Premier League starts and Dyche admits the adjustment to life in England from Belgium's top flight has been a difficult one for the 28-year-old.

“He's had a long adjustment to (the pace and physicality of the Premier League), and he's had injuries in between," Dyche said.

“You're on that knife edge of pushing them hard enough to get them up to speed, and trying to ease off enough that their bodies can adapt.

“Their muscle memory grows and they can adapt to what it is.

“It's been a difficult path, just when we got him there, he had an injury, and just when we got him there again, he had a slightly longer injury."
