NEW: Burnley's Latest Update On Foster

However, it seems the former Orlando Pirates striker is close to making his return to competitive action if Parker's latest comments are anything to go by.

"Lyle was on the grass, still moving in the right direction. I don't think it will be too long before he's in contention," Parker said, as per Burnley Express.

"Got to increase his load now and get him to a level that he can withstand a high-speed game of football. Hopefully see him in the next few weeks.

"All of the players that are injured can make a massive impact. There's never been a consistency of fitness in the front players. Them coming back gives us options from the bench.

"Tuesday night was heavy on the bench with defenders. I had to go with fit and available players."
