Burnley winger Robbie Brady has been hit by a new injury blow.

The 29-year-old, off contract in June, suffered a recurrence of an Achilles problem during the Republic of Ireland's friendly with Qatar this week and will miss out when the Clarets resume their Premier League campaign against Southampton at St Mary's on Sunday.

“Robbie Brady came off and is definitely not going to make it," said manager Sean Dyche.

“We are waiting on the results of scans and stuff as to how long that is going to be but it looks like one that will keep him out for a few weeks at least."

Dyche was coy when asked about the contract situation of Brady, who was a club record £13million signing when he arrived at Turf Moor in January 2017.

“It is not for consideration at the minute, we want to make sure he is fit and well and that is what his focus should be," said the Clarets boss. “We will see what comes next after that."
