Jay Rodriguez He will leave This summer,Kompany declares at £40m poor performances Burnley Star player…
more players who appear to still be absent for this weekend include Jay Rodriguez and Manuel Benson. However, the pair are progressing well with their recoveries and are on plan to return soon.
Kompany said: “Good and to plan. Jay Rodriguez, he’s just had to shake off a couple of things. It was a niggle first and then he felt a little bit sick so that was the second thing that came on top of it, so he’s been a bit unfortunate and it’s nothing more than that.
“Hopefully we’ll have him back soon, but with the run of game, I can’t tell you exactly which game and in terms of Benson, it was a nasty kick and he’s still recovering. We feared the worst initially but we’re just glad that we’ve been able to eliminate that fear. He’s going to be back soon but I don’t know which game as well.”
Rodriguez, who came through the Burnley Academy before joining Southampton for around £7m in 2012, returns on a two-year deal with the option of a third.
He joined West Brom for around £12m in 2017, and has become Burnley’s second summer signing after Erik Pieters.
Rodriguez, who scored 41 goals in 129 appearances during his first spell with Burnley, flew to Portugal on Monday to meet his new team-mates.
He claimed 35 goals in 126 games for Southampton, earning his only England cap against Chile in November 2013, before scoring 33 in 89 games for West Brom.
