Burnley boss Sean Dyche will assess the fitness of his attacker ahead their Premier League clash with Brighton at the Amex Stadium today

Former Albion man Ashley Barnes is not quite ready to start the Premier League match at Brighton.

Barnes replaced Weghorst and has benefitted from 90 minutes for the under-23s in midweek, but the game at the Amex Stadium may just be too soon for the former Albion man to start.

Barnes, 32, returned as a late substitute in the 1-1 draw against Man United and had the final 15 minutes against Liverpool.

The striker continues his recovery from a thigh issue that has kept him out since last October.

It's eight years since a bargain move from Saturday’s opponents Brighton and Barnes is four goals short of a half-century for the club, with his last coming a year ago this week.

Barnes is out of contract in the summer, albeit with an option in the club’s favour.

Dyche said: “Barnesy is good around the group, the group know him well, we know he can operate in the Premier League – he’s made that clear.
