- Coyle tips duo to return
Burnley manager Owen Coyle is confident that injured duo Michael Duff and Besart Berisha will be able to return to first-team action before the end of the season.
Berisha suffered a cruciate knee injury while on international duty with Algeria in September, while Duff had surgery on a similar problem two months ago.
Former St Johnstone boss Coyle is upbeat on the duo's progress though, telling the Clarets' official website: "Besart is three months into his rehabilitation and probably has another three months to go.
"All being well, I'd hope to see him in a Burnley shirt before the end of the season.
"Michael's a lot better than we first expected and again, with the rub of the green, I'd expect him to certainly be playing in a Burnley shirt long before the end of the season."
