Burnley boss Sean Dyche is happy to keep in touch with his players during the UK's coronavirus lockdown.

Dyche says he gave his players the option of joining a Zoom chat with the management to discuss a range of subjects relating to the season.

"I think our players are quite open-minded," he explained. "I had a Zoom call with most of them, we didn't force them to come on, but about 14 or 15 did. It was a general chat through, our players are quite flexible.

"Players have a lot of advisors now, but my players seemed to be quite balanced about it, what will be will be, 'we'll be ready'.

"At the moment there's no outcome to their training, they're just training. We've said mentally, make sure you're locked in, make sure you're thinking that the season will go ahead. There's a likelihood that we'll have a short pre-season, and we want to be mentally ready, it is still a real season. Even if it's considerably different, it's still an active season and it matters."
