Gudmundsson Back In The Frame

Wingman Johann Berg Gudmundsson is back in contention for the Clarets as they return to Turf Moor on Saturday.

Gudmundsson has missed Burnley’s last two Premier League games with a calf strain picked up at Wolves last month.

The Icelander isn’t certain to start against a Norwich side which put champions Manchester City to the sword last Saturday.

“He’s fit, but he hasn’t trained a lot so we’ve got to make a decision with that,” said Dyche.

But Gudmundsson’s availability means on-loan midfielder Danny Drinkwater is the only absentee.

And Dyche is happy with the options at his disposal as he looks forward to his 313th game in charge of the Clarets, a tally which will lift him into fourth place in the all-time list for games as Burnley manager,

“We’ve come back to a healthy group, so we’re pleased with that,” added the Clarets’ chief, who saw Jeff Hendrick come off the bench at Brighton last weekend to score a dramatic late equaliser and maintain Burnley’s point-a-game start to the season.
