Dyche's 'Risk and Reward' Dilemma
Sean Dyche admits he is entering a game of risk and reward with his walking wounded, as the end of the Premier League season looms.
The injury hit Clarets have been boosted in recent games by the return of Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Chris Wood and Robbie Brady.
Skipper Ben Mee, fellow defender Matt Lowton, midfielder Jack Cork and striker Ashley Barnes, meanwhile, will all miss the remaining three games.
And despite a mammoth effort, with only one defeat in 13 games bridging the three-month shutdown, the Burnley boss insists he is treading gently in the closing 12 days.
“We are stretched to the limit at the minute and we need a period for those players to get fit,” admitted Dyche.
