Jack Cork has undergone successful surgery which will hopefully have the midfielder back for the start of next season.
Cork suffered an ankle injury in the Clarets’ 1-0 win at Crystal Palace at the end of last month which has kept him out since.
But after going under the knife, the 31-year-old – who has started 105 games in the Premier League over the past three seasons with the Clarets – is now on the road to recovery.
“Corky has had a minor operation. We’re pleased with that and it’s gone well,” confirmed manager Sean Dyche.
