Burnley manager Sean Dyche provides injury update on Maxwel Cornet

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has provided an injury update on Maxwel Cornet.

The winger had to be replaced in the second half after suffering a knock during the 1-1 draw with Manchester United, which was his first game back since the Africa Cup of Nations.

Cornet had been representing Ivory Coast in the tournament, with the 25-year-old having already made 12 appearances for the Clarets this season, scoring six times.

"We have to make decisions with Maxwel, I was almost not going to play him because of his fitness levels and the risk of injury. He is still adapting to the Premier League and has hardly played in weeks," Dyche told the press.

"His training schedule has not been the demand we have for the Premier League so we are trying to factor all those things in and getting him fit and not break him. It is a fine line. He did fine and his fitness will improve and his sharpness will improve."

Burnley will be back in action on Sunday when they face Liverpool.
