Bafana striker Lyle Foster finally stretches some legs for Burnley

South African forward Lyle Foster marked his return to action for Burnley after a lengthy absence due to injury.

The 21-year-old made a brief appearance as a substitute in Burnley’s recent 2-1 victory over Brentford in the English Premier League at Turf Moor.

Foster’s last game for the team was on 3 February, and his comeback signals a step towards full fitness and regular playing time under manager Vincent Kompany.

Foster had been sidelined following a surgery to address an undisclosed muscle injury, which had kept him out of action for an extended period.

His brief cameo against Brentford offers a glimpse of his recovery progress and determination to regain a spot in the starting lineup.

With competition for places in the team intensifying, Foster faces a challenge to secure a consistent starting role, especially with the impressive performances of January loan signing David Datro Fofana, who has made a significant impact with four goals in eight Premier League appearances.

The upcoming international break provides Foster with an opportunity to focus on improving his fitness and form, as he aims to elevate his game and make a strong case for regular inclusion in the Burnley squad.

He was not called up for Bafana selection.
