Burnley boss Kompany announces Foster surgery

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has announced surgery for striker Lyle Foster.

Foster had only just returned after a spell out for mental depression.

Ahead of facing Arsenal on Saturday, Kompany said, "Foster won't be available, he had surgery on a chronic issue. It's not season over but he will miss a period of time.

"Jordan (Beyer) is progressing and everything is going well but which game he comes back in depends on a number of factors.

"Charlie (Taylor) was close for Liverpool and if he carries on with another good week then he won't be far off."
