SOUNDBITE: (English) Sean Dyche, Burnley manager (on his pre-season preparations):

"As ready as we can be, I think. We've had a decent pre-season, we're happy with that. Players have come through fit and well mostly. We had a few scary ones early into the pre-season where we wondered, but they were only minor things that players got over quickly. That's important, we are working with a low number at the moment - we are still looking to add but we have a relatively low number, particularly in lieu of the norm in the Premier League, that's for sure."
