Burnley take former Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard on trial as they prepare for months without first choice Tom Heaton

Burnley have taken former Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard on trial following the injury to Tom Heaton.

The 33-year-old was released by Preston North End last season and has been training with Burnley this week in the hope of impressing manager Sean Dyche.

England goalkeeper Heaton is set to be out for several months with a dislocated shoulder suffered in the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
