Burney won 2-0 against Sunderland on Saturday in the second round of the Premier League. For the locals, striker Armando Broja again did not gather. The 23-year-old was not even on the bench for the second game in a row, while Scott Parker also spoke about this.
The Burnley coach explained the absence of the red and black striker and the time when he can be activated with the team.
"It's not far away, it's not far at all. He's just maybe a little behind. As I said, I don't want to risk anything, or take a big risk with Broja. He just needs a little more work. Hopefully we will start integrating it, maybe on Tuesday and then we can start looking at it," said the Burnley coach.
On Tuesday at 20:45 Burnley plays against Derby for the 1/32nd round of the EFL Cup and it seems that Broja will be with the team, at least on the bench. The injuries that the red and black boy has gone through scares coach Scott Parker, who seems to be showing maximum care for Broja.
The staff of the national team have also asked about his condition, on the eve of Albania's friendly against Gibraltar (September 4) and the qualifying match against Latvia on September 9.
