Burnley U23 coach Steve Stone says Michael Fowler has big chance

Burnley U23 coach Steve Stone believes Michael Fowler has a big chance in the game.

The 18-year-old netted twice in the Clarets U18s 4-2 win over Leeds United on Tuesday and has more than 25 goals to his name this season.

He is a regular in Burnley's U23 squad and was on target in the 4-2 win over Bolton last week.

“He knows where the goal is and he is always in the six-yard box," said Stone of the frontman.

“If you are a striker and you have got that then you might be worth a few quid.

“But he has got a long, long way to go.

“We have got a lot of tidying up to do in terms of his first touch, his lay-offs, his game awareness and appreciation, but he scores goals."
