Jay Rodriguez is back in contention to add to the Clarets’ striking options following the temporary loss of Ashley Barnes.
Barnes today (Friday) undergoes surgery for a hernia repair which will keep him out for a spell.
But boss Sean Dyche will be able to call on the services of Rodriguez for Sunday’s visit of Leicester City after the summer signing missed last Saturday’s defeat at Chelsea through illness.
“Jay is feeling way, way better,” confirmed Dyche. “He’d had a real big bout of illness and had lost some weight.
“But he’s putting that back on and has been training all week and he’s feeling pretty good, so that’s good.
