Burnley goalkeeper Diego Penny looks to cash in against Hull City
Big break: Burnley goalkeeper Diego Penny[LNB]Diego Penny's last start was a glamour tie against Brazil - but now the Burnley goalkeeper is desperate to face Hull City. [LNB]The Peru stopper's appearance in World Cup qualifying against Brazil ended his first-team action - until last weekend when he came on as a substitute for injured Burnley No 1 Brian Jensen.[LNB]With Jensen suffering the freak ankle injury in that 3-1 loss at Wigan, it is likely that Penny will have the chance to cash in by starting for Owen Coyle's side in their home game against Hull on Saturday.[LNB]Although the visitors to Turf Moor will have Geovanni in their side, that is the end of the similarities with Brazil, who beat Peru 3-0 in Porto Alegre. [LNB]But, although he will not be facing Kaka or Fabiano, Penny is still excited about the prospect of facing the strugglers from east Yorkshire. [LNB]Reflecting on his World Cup exploits, Penny explained: 'We finished on the bottom and we have to come back and I will do my best to help my national team. That's important as well.[LNB]'Everybody in Peru was very happy that I played. They were disappointed with the result, and so was I, but it's football.[LNB]'My last start was against Brazil and I need to show what I can do. I haven't played for a long time so this is good chance.'[LNB]Penny's Barclays Premier League debut against Wigan last weekend made headlines in Peru. And he was pleased with his performance - and the reaction of fellow Burnley players. 'All of my team-mates showed me their support and for me that moment was very important,' he said.[LNB] Down and out: Brian Jensen is treated for an ankle injury suffered against Wigan[LNB]'I was very excited about it. It's hard to come on but I tried to do my best. The score was unlucky but now we have to think about Hull.[LNB]'I am waiting for my chance and if I have to play against Hull I will do my best and hopefully we will get the three points.'[LNB]Penny came into the game against Wigan in excellent form for Burnley's reserves. But the 25-year-old, signed from top Peruvian club Coronel Bolognesi in June 2008, has been an understudy to Jensen since his debut on the opening day of last season.[LNB]'It is hard,' admitted Penny. 'When I came over, everyone knows I started to play but then things changed and, after that, we got promoted so I have had to be patient and keep working hard all time, the same as Brian.[LNB]'Brian is a good mirror because he's a strong man and always shows you what's the best. We are partners and team-mates and he's a good guy. He gives me good advice.'[LNB] Burnley 'beast' Brian Jensen is tamed as goalkeeper suffers slight ankle ligament damage Burnley 1 Wigan Athletic 3: Cocky Hugo Rodallega is the victor for boss Roberto Martinez BURNLEY FC
