Burnley sign former Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard to cover for injured Tom Heaton

Burnley have acted quickly to draft in cover for the injured Tom Heaton by signing Anders Lindegaard on a short-term deal.

England international goalkeeper Heaton suffered a shoulder injury during the Clarets' clash with Crystal Palace earlier this month and has since undergone reparative surgery.

With Heaton set for several months in rehabilitation, Lindegaard - the former Manchester United keeper - has been signed until the end of the season.
