Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has held talks with Matt Lowton over his future.

Kompany admits he does not envisage the 33-year-old winning regular playing time this season.

The Belgian said: "Lowts is an experienced player and as the age comes down in the group then those players become more valuable.

"But as for what Lowts has to do and will be meaning for our squad, that is a conversation I am very open on with my players. Most players I would like to think will know exactly what I think and why and with Lowts it is the same.

"For me the most important thing is that I have the conversation with the player first and with Lowts, and with this being Burnley, I prefer that we talk as straight as we can.

"So I did speak to Lowts and he knows that his minutes will be limited here but the way he is training and the way he is conducting himself, it is about performance and as long as a player is at the club I go with what I see and he is hungry and on a mission.

"And I like that side, because anything I say is only based on what I see and Lowts is definitely in a positive moment."
