Dyche insists Burnley not at 'desperation stage' with transfers

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says his team is not yet at the "desperation stage" where transfers are concerned.

The Clarets are in trouble as they lost 4-2 to Leicester City in the second game of the Premier League season.

Robbie Brady came off in the match with a rib issue.

But Dyche is not panicking over transfers, despite his team having five to six important players out injured.

"I don't think it is desperation stage, we have been here many times," he told reporters.

"My first summer here we sold Charlie Austin two days before the start of the season and brought in three free transfers so it is not really massively new news to me with how we have to operate.

"It just makes the challenge of how we have to operate slightly harder when you haven't got the bodies.

"I have no knowledge that we are on the cusp of anything so therefore we work with what we have got.

"I have done that before and the group have a great mentality as we saw (at Leicester).

"We will take that into the next game."
