Jon Walters admits likely Burnley exit

Jon Walters admits he could leave Burnley this summer.

The striker suffered from injury during last season but was not selected when he returned to full fitness.

He has joined up with the Ireland squad for friendlies against France and the USA.

"I had a few little niggly injuries, ankle and knee, and then I've been fit for a while, but not been picked," said the veteran.

"But I can't moan. The team is doing well and I suppose that's part and parcel of it. I'm delighted to come over and hopefully get some minutes and show I'm still a footballer.

"I've been fit for a while and in the squad and not been picked. Look, I can't moan too much. The team is doing ever so well, but I have spoken to the manager and I think I'm available to go if needs be.

"I'll assess it and see what's there, but first and foremost, there are these games. I want to get back playing, get minutes under my belt and show I am still playing."
