Intro:

Burnley manager Sean Dyche speaks at a news conference on Thursday (September 4) and looks ahead to their English Premier League away fixture against Queen's Park Rangers.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sean Dyche, Burnley manager (on injury news):
"Well obviously with Wardey (Stephen Ward) a bit more serious than what we thought, well - what we hoped. He will be seeing the speciality probably tomorrow I think. That's put a line for. (Michael) Duff I don't think will make it. It's a shame. He just niggled it again so we are not thinking he will make it for this weekend. It's nothing serious but we don't think he will make it for this weekend."

(question: (Nathaniel) Chalobah?)
"Yeah, he is good, yeah, yeah, yeah. They are okay - and everyone else I think, pretty much."

(question: As Ste' Ward is concerned what is like the early...?)
"Just yeah, It is not as good as what we hoped. We thought it might be a straightforward one with his ligaments but we think there is a bit more to it than that so he will go and get that double-checked and confirmed, if you like, tomorrow with a specialist view on it."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Sean Dyche, Burnley manager (on QPR):
"Yeah, you know...a great manager, I have got a lot of time of Harry (Redknapp). Found a way of getting it done last year - a lot was made of it - but that's what managers do, especially with his experience. They found a way back in the Premier League, spent a lot of money. Got a strong group there, a very experienced group and people are probably surprised where they are at..a little bit. I mean I am not suggesting Harry or his men should think they should be right at the top of the league but it is fair to say that on paper they have got a strong group. But that just goes to show you how tough the league is. You look at Leicester (City) and at ourselves and QPR...all come up and are full of beans, all looking forward to the challenge, different amounts spent, different amounts of player trading, all still finding it very tough because it is a tough division."
