Scott Parker optimistic about Lyle Foster's recovery before season end

Burnley FC coach Scott Parker has provided a positive update on striker Lyle Foster's shoulder injury, stating that Foster could return before the end of the season and potentially as soon as the next couple of games. Foster, who was injured during a recent draw with Derby County and missed subsequent matches, is progressing well in his recovery, with the injury described as stable and manageable depending on his tolerance. Parker emphasized Foster's eagerness to return and the team's cautious approach in gradually pushing his rehabilitation. The rest of the Burnley squad remains fit as the club enters a decisive phase in their push for promotion back to the Premier League. Currently, Burnley is second in the Championship, level on points with Leeds United, with four matches remaining to secure promotion. Parker's updates come as Burnley prepares for a critical match against Watford, aiming to capitalize on their strong form and injury news.
