The Clarets are continuing their preparations this week by partaking in a warm-weather training camp in Quinta do Lago, in Portugal’s Algarve.
Scott Parker and his squad flew out to Faro on Sunday to settle into their new surrounding, where they will remain until next weekend.
The players, who kicked off their week of work with some cycling yesterday evening, now face double training sessions throughout the week.
The German defender, who got 20 minutes under his belt as a second-half substitute, has been out of action with a serious injury since December 2023.
