Burnley and England goalkeeper Nick Pope is to have knee surgery three weeks before the start of Euro 2020.

Pope, 29, will have a "minor" operation next week after missing Burnley's final three Premier League games including Sunday's trip to Sheffield United.

Pope has been capped seven times - including starting three World Cup qualifiers in March - and is a regular in Gareth Southgate's England squads.

Southgate names his squad on Tuesday, with England's first game on 13 June.

While the operation puts a question mark over Pope's availability for selection, Burnley boss Sean Dyche has not ruled him out of the tournament.

"It's not ideal for him or us and possibly for the England team. We'll wait and see," Dyche told BT Sport.

"It's nothing too serious, we don't think, but it still needed doing.

"He was trying to get right for this game [against Sheffield United] to give it a test but didn't quite come through in training, so he and we have had to make a judgement call on that.

"It's mainly down to him and he knows what he's got to do. He'll have the operation done this week and hopefully it will settle down for a quick recovery."
