Burnley boss Nicky Hayen reveals extent of Jaydon Banel's injury blow Burnley handed Jaydon Banel injury blow ahead of new season Jaydon Banel is facing “many weeks” on the sidelines, landing Burnley a big blow ahead of the new season.

Having been absent for a second occasion in the friendly defeat to Torino on Sunday, Hayen confirmed to the Burnley Express the 21-year-old will face some time out - although he didn’t reveal what the injury was. “Jaydon is injured for many weeks,” he said. “This is a pity because with his speed, of course, we can also hurt the teams.” Subscribe now for HALF PRICE and catch every minute of our Clarets coverage this season - from pre-season to the final whistle. Click here Banel had featured heavily for the Clarets in pre-season and looked set to take that left winger’s role. It comes after he impressed on loan at Derby County during the second half of last season, scoring three times in 14 appearances. Another man who has missed the last two games through injury is defender Connor Roberts, although his absence is expected to be a temporary one. “Connor is coming back,” Hayen said. “He was just out for this week. He will be coming back on a daily basis.” Andreas Hountondji was also not involved for the Torino game, despite scoring during the midweek draw against Espanyol. The 24-year-old, who has since been linked with Serie A side Frosinone, picked up a minor issue a few days previously. “He had a knock,” Hayen confirmed. “It was a 50-50 decision. “We're not going to take the risk in a friendly game when we're preparing everyone for a cup game.”
