Burnley boss Dyche won’t rush Heaton but Wood ready for Southampton…

Show/hide article…

(Reuters) - Burnley will not rush goalkeeper Tom Heaton back into top-flight action but there could be a return for top scorer Chris Wood against Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, manager Sean Dyche said.

After five months out with a shoulder injury, Heaton was back for Tuesday’s behind-closed-doors game against Blackpool at the club’s training ground. Dyche said he needs to further boost his fitness levels before he can win back his first-team spot from Nick Pope.

”Tom’s main thing is to get fit,“ Dyche told a news conference. ”He’s done very well with his re-hab and so have the medical team.

”Now it’s about true fitness and as a keeper it’s about timing, getting your eye in and about reminding yourself about game awareness and game management and all the different things that add into a goalkeeper’s performance.

“He’s not under any pressure to be considered at the moment because we want him to be right, not just on what you see, but right in himself and that’s an important factor for us.”

Wood also played in the midweek game at Burnley’s training ground after missing their last nine competitive matches with a knee injury sustained against Tottenham Hotspur in December.

Dyche confirmed midfielder Dean Marney and left back Stephen Ward, who made it to the bench against Swansea City, could feature this weekend.

James Tarkowski also has a chance of returning after missing three games with a groin problem and Phil Bardsley is back in training, easing Dyche’s injury list which at one point included nine first-team players.

“When the group is at its strongest point and everyone is vying for a shirt, that brings that edge,” Dyche added.

“That group dynamic and in-house competition is very important, to get that kind of edge to a performance when you need it. It helps when all these bodies are coming back to full fitness.”

Burnley are seventh in the standings but without a win in last 10 league matches.

Opposition View: Burnley

Show/hide article…

The Clarets are without a win in 10 matches but the 46-year-old has no concerns around the morale of his squad heading into the final third of the campaign.

The Turf Moor club are hopeful that striker Chris Wood and defender James Tarkowski may return in time for the visit of Saints, two of a handful of key names that have been absent throughout a difficult run in the league.

“When the group is at its strongest point and everyone is vying for a shirt, that brings that edge,” he said.

“That group dynamic and in-house competition is very important, to get that kind of edge to a performance when you need it.

“In the bigger picture, our goal hasn’t changed; it is to be better than last season. There’s only been a couple of games in this run where I’ve been disappointed with our performances.”

With both sides struggling for Premier League form, the direction of the three points at Turf Moor will have a big impact at both ends of the table.

“Both teams have got their own challenges in front of them and we want to make sure we can deliver a winning performance.

“Not many would have thought that Southampton would have been in their current position at the start of the season so their immediate focus is the same as ours: to restore some form and win as many points as possible.”

Saints suffer injury blow

Show/hide article…

Maya Yoshida is set to spend at least a month on the sidelines after injuring his knee.

The Japanese centre half was one of three players who suffered injuries in training the day before Saints booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals with a win at West Brom.

He is also the worse off, with Mauricio Pellegrino predicting a lengthy period out of the squad.

Sofiane Boufal is in contention to be available again for Saturday’s game at Burnley, while Shane Long and Steven Davis should be back for the visit of Stoke.

Pellegrino said of Yoshida: “Minimum he will be four or five weeks.

“Last week I said everybody is ok and then last training session three or four players out.

“Maybe Sofiane will be involved in the team but maybe Shane and Davo have to wait another week.

“Football has this unpredictable moment and you cannot control this but hopefully in the next few weeks everybody will be alright.”

Pellegrino also gave an update on Charlie Austin, who, like Yoshida, isn’t expected back for four-five weeks.

“We are talking about this period of time,” he confirmed.
