What Phil Bardsley's new deal tells us about Burnley's recruitment strategy Bardsley is the latest Burnley player to sign a new contract, penning another one-year deal to extend his stay until the end of 2021-22
Back on bench Bardsley (undisclosed) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Aston Villa.
Impact Bardsley is back in the squad Thursday, his first since Nov. 23. That said, Matthew Lowton has taken over at right-back and Bardsley no longer has much of a role after starting the first three matches of the season. But in the busy season, there's a chance Bardsley gets a spot start in the coming weeks, possibly Monday against Wolves.

Playing with U23s Bardsley (undisclosed) is starting with the U23s Monday ahead of Thursday's trip to Aston Villa.
Impact Bardsley was supposed to be an option over the weekend, but instead he's getting a start with the youth squad. If things go well, he could start Monday and then be an option off the bench Thursday for the senior squad.

Out Sunday Bardsley didn't make the match day roster for Sunday's match against Arsenal.
Impact Bardsley wasn't able to make the team despite suggestions that he could play Sunday. He hasn't played since the beginning of October and it remains to be seen when he'll compete with Matthew Lowton for a spot in the lineup.

Should be ready Sunday Bardsley (undisclosed) should be an option for Sunday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Bardsley has dealt with numerous issues this season and even if ready to return Sunday, he'll likely be in a bench role. He hasn't played since Oct. 3 and appears to be the full-time backup to Matthew Lowton.

Ruled out for Everton game Bardsley is unavailable for Saturday's match versus Everton.

Touch and go for Saturday Bardsley (undisclosed) is "touch and go" for Saturday's match against Everton, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Bardsley returned to the bench two matches ago, but he was left out of the squad against Man City. It's unknown the exact issue he has, but despite starting the first three matches of the season, he'll likely be more of a bench option when healthy.

Fit and well Bardsley (COVID-19) is "fit and well" ahead of Monday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Bardsley should again be an option Monday after testing positive for COVID-19 a month ago. He started the first three matches of the season but will now battle Matthew Lowton for playing time at right-back with the latter having a slight edge.

Not in squad Friday Bardsley (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Friday's match against Brighton because of injury.
Impact Bardsley had been training, but there's a chance he wasn't fully fit ahead of Friday's match after dealing with COVID-19, though the team tweeted out he also had an undisclosed injury. He should compete for playing time following the international break, fighting Matthew Lowton for starts at right-back.

Back in training Bardsley (COVID-19) took part in a training-ground match earlier this week and should return for Friday's match against Brighton.
Impact Bardsley last appeared Oct. 3, but things went well in Monday's training match and he could make an immediate return to the starting XI Friday. He had 10 crosses in the first three matches of the season and would likely take over for Matthew Lowton.

Remains in self-isolation Bardsley (COVID-19) "is still following government guidelines" and is unlikely for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Bardsley hasn't trained in more than a week and it's unlikely he'll be thrust into the starting XI Saturday. Matthew Lowton started last week's match and is set to get the call again at left-back against Chelsea.

Still not training Bardsley (COVID-19) "will follow government guidelines before returning to training," according to manager Sean Dyche.
Impact Bardsley will likely miss Monday's match unless he returns to training and fitness over the next few days. It's more likely he returns for the Oct. 31 contest. In his place, Matthew Lowton could start Monday if he's back from injury.
OCTOBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Tests positive for COVID-19 Bardsley tested positive for COVID-19 and is not in the squad for Monday's match against West Brom.
Impact Bardsley trained with the team over the break, so it's a wonder when he picked up the virus. It's a late announcement from the club and assuming it's not a false positive, Erik Pieters will likely start at right-back the next two matches, including Monday's contest.
