Danny Drinkwater is set to return to training at Burnley on Monday after suffering injuries when he was attacked on a night out.

Drinkwater, who is still battling for fitness after joining Sean Dyche's side on loan from Chelsea this summer, will reportedly meet the Burnley manager to discuss the attack and could be out of action for several weeks.
