Charlie Taylor - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains a doubt Taylor (foot) remains a doubt for Saturday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Taylor has been close to return for the last four matches, according to Dyche, but nothing has really changed. It's some kind of foot injury that's not allowing him to be ready. Either way, there's a chance Erik Pieters holds onto the left-back position upon Taylor's return, though Taylor has held the leg up in recent years.

In doubt against Liverpool Taylor (foot) is questionable heading into Sunday's matchup with Liverpool. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Charlie Taylor we still need to be careful with."

Impact Taylor has missed three straight contests due to his foot problem and remains in doubt in the leadup to Sunday's tilt. In his previous five outings, the left-back has generated 14 crosses (four accurate), 18 clearances and two shots (zero on target). Given his ability to push the attack from the backline, Taylor should be capable of offering top-half fantasy value once restored to the starting XI.

Still sidelined Tuesday Taylor (foot) will miss Tuesday's clash with Manchester United. Manager Sean Dyche told reporters, "Charlie will probably miss this one but he's getting back."

Impact Based on the manager's comments, Taylor could be ready in time to play versus Liverpool on Sunday. Whenever the left-back gets back onto the pitch, he figures to be a near-lock for the starting XI and should offer solid fantasy value. In his last five contests, Taylor registered 14 crosses (four accurate), 18 clearances and two shots (zero on target).

Remains touch and go Taylor (foot) is touch and go for Saturday's match against Watford, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact This clearly isn't a positive update on Taylor, as Dyche's "touch and go" comment usually means out. Taylor missed the match before the break and he apparently hasn't recovered, meaning Erik Pieters could be set for another start Saturday in a favorable matchup.

Misses draw against Arsenal Taylor was not in the squad for Sunday's draw against Arsenal because of a foot injury suffered in training.

Impact Taylor is considered a doubt for the Feb. 5 contest against Watford, though more updates will be revealed in the coming week. He had started all but one match prior to the Arsenal game, but Erik Pieters has plenty of experience and did well there in a tough spot.

In doubt Sunday Taylor (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's clash with Arsenal with manager Sean Dyche telling reporters, "Charlie Taylor is touch and go," per Alex James of LancsLive report...

Impact Taylor has started all 17 of his appearances for the club this season in which he has generated one assist, 56 crosses (12 accurate) and 13 chances created. As such, if the left-back is cleared to play, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI where he'll be capable of pushing the attack from the backline.

Dealing with injury Taylor is back from COVID-19 but has picked up a knock, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It's been a whirlwind of a week for Burnley, who lost Chris Wood in addition to deal with injuries, COVID-19 and AFCON absences. Taylor has started 17 matches at left-back this season and isn't available for Tuesday's match against Watford, which is set to be postponed.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Taylor was sidelined against Huddersfield Town on Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19, per Alex James of LancsLive.

Impact Taylor sits third on the team in crosses (56) behind only Ashley Westwood (73) and Dwight McNeil (102), who also tested positive for COVID. Without Taylor to push the attack from the backline, Burnley may be hard-pressed to generate offense against Leicester City on Saturday.

Impact Taylor didn't have much room to support the offensive end as Adama Traore kept him very busy on defense. But the left back did great most of the times, even racking up a season-high nine clearances to help his side keeping the opposition scoreless. Up next for the left-back is Saturday's visit to Newcastle.

Burnley keeps up good record vs. Wolves with 0-0 draw in EPL

Burnley maintained its impressive record against Wolverhampton by securing a 0-0 draw in the Premier League to make it six matches unbeaten against its opponent

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • Associated Press

Rare assist Saturday Taylor recorded one assist during a 3-1 win Saturday versus Brentford.

Impact Coincidentally, Taylor has one assist across each of the Premier League's last four seasons. History suggests he will not record multiple assists this season. However, Taylor has 28 fixtures (of the 2021-22 Premier League) remaining to interrupt the norm.

Starting against Southampton Taylor (knock) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Southampton.

Impact Taylor is back in the XI Saturday after missing out last weekend because of a knock and now he takes the spot of Erik Pieters again. He had a ridiculous 12 crosses in his last start, something that'll be hard to bank on as an underdog against Southampton.

OCTOBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain Taylor will be a game-time decision versus Southampton on Saturday.

Impact Prior to getting hurt, Taylor has started all seven matches for the club in which he recorded 31 crosses (five accurate), 18 interceptions and eight chances created. If cleared to play, the left-back should be a near-lock for the starting XI and would be a solid top-half fantasy option.

OCTOBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knock Taylor picked up a knock and is considered a doubt for Saturday's trip to Manchester City, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact It's unclear how severe the knock is for Taylor, but there appears to be a chance he misses out Saturday. While he's coming off a huge performance, he wouldn't come close to 12 crosses against Man City and the same goes for possible replacement, Erik Pieters.

Sends in 12 crosses in draw Taylor created three chances, sent in 12 crosses (two accurate), made one tackle (won), two clearances and two interceptions and helped his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturd...

Impact Taylor was part of a Burnley defensive that was able to shut the opposition down for the first time this season and also found a lot of room to support the attack from the left flank, sending a game-high 12 crosses into the Norwich's box. The left back has a lot of two-way fantasy potential, but will probably need to focus on defense during Oct. 16 visit to reigning champs Manchester City.

Odegaard's free kick earns Arsenal 1-0 win at Burnley in EPL

Fails to convert on seven crosses Taylor sent in seven crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Taylor was another Arsenal defender falling afoul of accuracy, sending in plenty of crosses, but failing to send in any particularly threatening crosses. Next up for Taylor is a tough match away to a stout Leicester side.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nailed on starter Taylor has started all three of Burnley's matches to start the new season.

Impact Taylor has been nailed on thus far, starting all three games for Burnley. The defender has the second highest amount of tackles on the team while leading Burnley with his seven interceptions.

Ends season on a positive Taylor started the final seven matches of the season after struggling with multiple hamstring injuries over the campaign.

Impact Taylor started when healthy this season, but because of hamstring issues, he managed 28 starts. His numbers have been consistent over the years, supplying an assist with 105 crosses and eight clean sheets this past season.

MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Supplies eight crosses during loss Taylor put in eight crosses (none accurate), made one interception and two clearances during Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Taylor supplied his second-highest total in crosses for the season as Burnley tried to find balls in early to Chris Wood. This was unsuccessful as Liverpool's defensive pairing of Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips was solid throughout the 90 minutes. Taylor is expected back in the lineup for Sunday's finale against Sheffield United.

To miss finale Taylor (hamstring) will not be ready for Sunday's match against Brighton, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Taylor wasn't expected to return so this isn't much of an update on his status. He injured his hamstring July 13 and will hope to be ready once training begins for the next campaign. He finishes the current season with one assist, 88 crosses and 10 clean sheets in 24 appearances (22 starts).
