The struggling Clarets are back in Premier League action at home against Luton Town on Tuesday, when they will be looking for their first league win of the 2023/24 campaign.
While Kompany's team has battled upon their return to England's top division this season, Foster's form has provided some hope for the Turf Moor-based outfit, with the South Africa international having scored two goals and provided an assist in his first four EPL appearances.
Burnley suffered a setback in their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest last month when the 23-year-old was shown a red card for an off-the-ball incident in which he intentionally elbowed an opponent, and Kompany is delighted to have his frontman back.
"It's massive," he said, according to Burnley Express.
"Zeki (Amdouni) and Jay Rodriguez have done well in the time they've had up top. In every game we've had at least two or three big chances.
"It's not lacking goals for a lack of chances, we're just not putting them away at the moment.
"You have to believe if your performances are good and you keep creating chances, of course we can create more, but when you play against top sides it's always difficult, but then you have to believe you're still on the right track to get results.
"Lyle was on a trajectory where he was showing good signs to be a good player in this league.
"When you have someone with momentum, you want to keep them involved as much as you can, and hopefully on Tuesday we can have the Lyle we had before the suspension.

"Everyone knows he's a threat and he scores goals as well."
