Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Robbie Brady is edging closer to a first team comeback.

Dyche has revealed Robbie Brady is moving closer to a return to action after an 11-month injury lay-off with a knee problem, with the winger in contention to play Chelsea on Sunday.

“He's enjoyed a week's training with the boys as well, and that extra day helps as well, but he's definitely back in contention.

“It's like with Steven [Defour], they've been out a while, it's not an actual new signing, but they add that freshness, players coming back often have that excitement again.

“Being injured is very difficult for players, I had a few long-term injuries when I was playing, and when you come out of that period, you get that high, that elation of training every day, playing."
