Burnley boss Scott Parker says there is "good news" concerning the shoulder injury suffered by striker Lyle Foster as the Clarets look to seal their Premier League promotion over the next four games.

Foster was hurt in the recent goalless draw with Derby County and there were doubts over whether the South Africa forward would be able to play much of a role in the run-in.

But speaking ahead of Saturday's trip to Watford, Parker is optimistic on Foster's chances.

"We had some good news around Lyle and we are hoping we will see him again before the end of the season," Parker, who is up for the Championship manager of the year award, told BBC Radio Lancashire.
