​Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez: I'm ready to play

Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez says he'll be 'raring to go' when the Premier League resumes.

The Englishman picked up a knee injury against Spurs last month.

Of his rehab the frontman told LancsLive: "It is going really well, I have been set up with a programme and ticked all the boxes so far.

"I am out on the grass now with the ball. I am setting up my own drills which is a bit strange, I look like a really keen fitness guy! People are looking at me like I am a weirdo! It is something I have to do to tick the boxes.

"I feel good, feel strong and ready to go and want to keep my fitness up with the rehab."

He added: "When the time comes we want to be ready to fire and carry the run on that we are on. That is the main thing we are thinking of as a team.

"The bigger picture is everyone's safety but when we get the call to go back in we will be ready."
