Burnley FC head coach Scott Parker has given an update on the injury status of the club's key player and Bafana Bafana star Lyle Foster.
Foster sustained a shoulder injury during the Clarets' recent EFL Championship goalless draw against Derby County away from home.
The Orlando Pirate Academy graduate missed Burnley's important 2-1 victory over Norwich City at the Turf Moor Stadium on Friday.

Parker discussed Foster's injury with BBC Sport while preparing for his team's Good Friday league game against Watford FC at the Vicarage Road Stadium.
"We had some good news around Lyle and we are hoping we will see him again before the end of the season," Parker told BBC Radio.
"It may be as quick as over the next couple of games so, again, we are at the back end of the season, Lyle is in the frame of mind where he wants to get back as well.
"We will see, we will slowly push him, we pushed him [on Wednesday], see how he comes out of that and take it gradual with him.

"From the initial worry, whilst it's still a biggish injury, it's stable and it might be something if Lyle can tolerate, it's still a big ask, but we will see where Lyle progresses with that really."
Burnley are close to confirming their promotion to the Premier League in the next four matches.
The Clarets are currently placed second in the league standings. They are level on 88 points with the league leaders, Leeds United, having four games left.
