Burnley boss Sean Dyche: We're a striker down, but...

Burnley boss Sean Dyche isn't panicking after losing Patrick Bamford.

The Clarets have space for another loan signing after Bamford was recalled by Chelsea, who are set to sell him to Middlesbrough.

Dyche told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: “If something comes our way, there's no guarantee, but it does open up a space.

“It's tough. The market is tough.

“We're one down, a recognised striker down, but we've got a pretty rounded squad. We've fluctuated between playing a one striker and two striker system so we're not desperate.

“He did well and worked hard to do what we do but he hadn't had that much game time. It's not like he was playing every week which can be different."
