Rodriguez Focused On First Game Back

Jay Rodriguez says the return to full training and a restart date for the Premier League came as a major morale-booster for the Clarets’ camp.

Burnley have been back in training for a fortnight after restrictions around Covid-19 were eased by the government.

Initial non-contract training in limited numbers was upgraded to allow group training and tackling on 27 May.

And with professional sport now in phase three of the government guidance, the Premier League will re-start on 17 June provided all safety requirements are in place.

“It’s been really good; to get back and see the lads and get as normal as we can really,” said Clarets frontman Rodriguez, who had helped Sean Dyche’s men put together a seven-match unbeaten run before the shutdown brought about by the coronavirus pandemic in mid-March.
