Gudmundsson confident Burnley ready for Europe challenge

Johann Berg Gudmundsson believes Burnley will be able to compete in the Europa League.

The Clarets winger made 26 appearances in Europe's second-tier competition while at AZ Alkmaar.

"I think we're ready for it, we know it's going to be difficult, playing Thursday-Sunday is tough," Gudmundsson said. "But equally it's going to be a lot of enjoyment, you go to different countries and see different styles of football.

"It's going to be a nice experience. We train really hard so instead of a hard training session it's just going to be a football match.

"We're not going to be complaining about playing more football matches but we know it's going to be tough in the Premier League because you're playing a few days before that. It's about managing it, using the squad a little bit more."
