The 33-year-old last featured in the 0-0 Turf Moor draw with Manchester United, but is now getting closer to a return to action.

“Matty Taylor’s probably the one who has jumped a bit this week,” said Clarets chief Sean Dyche.
“He’s had a long period out unfortunately with an Achilles, something we thought was basic and it’s just kind of niggled on and on.
“He’s back more or less with the first team. He needs time now and games.”
Dean Marney has also returned to Gawthorpe after undergoing surgery on a cruciate knee ligament injury.
“Dean was back in the building on Thursday, he’s looking good, nice shape to his knee and the surgeon was very happy with that.
“Wardy’s back in the squad, he probably still needs another week or two to get really, really fully fit.”
