Burnley manager Sean Dyche will decide today whether Tom Heaton will be fit for Saturday’s match at Stoke City.
The Clarets were without their goalkeeper for the first time in 143 league matches since he joined the club for last week’s defeat to Manchester City, after he suffered a calf problem.
Former midfielder Joey Barton is training at Burnley once more, Clarets boss Sean Dyche has confirmed. The experienced Barton was Burnley’s player of the year last season as they secured a return to the Premier League. However, he then opted to take on a new challenge by moving to Scotland to join Rangers as they embarked on their return to top-flight football north of the border.
