Burnley striker Andy Gray has revealed he is close to returning to first-team action.

The 29-year-old has been sidelined since breaking three bones in his right foot towards the end of a victory over Leeds United in November.

But following six weeks of intensive treatment, the ten-goal marksman is closing on a return to full fitness.

"This is the longest I've been out injured in my career and it's frustrating," Gray told the club's official website.

"In my head I have a date when I want to be back in action, but I don't want to say it in case I let myself and others down.

"I've just been working as hard as I can because I want to give myself every chance to get back as quickly as I can."
