Joel Mumbongo is looking to repay the Clarets’ faith after finally making his debut for the club.
Mumbongo started his first game for the Under-23s in last weekend’s Premier League Cup draw at Middlesbrough.
His Burnley bow came three months after the Swedish striker first linked up with Steve Stone’s squad for pre-season.
And it was a reward for his hard work in over-coming a knee problem and the Clarets’ desire to give the 20-year-old a chance in English football.
“It started well but as time went on it was hard on my knee because the tempo was just so high, and I couldn’t take it,” said Mumbongo, who went with the Under-23s on their summer training camp to Poland and featured in a couple of pre-season friendlies.
