In contention for Wolves clash
Roberts (strain) has been in full training this week and is pushing for minutes in Sunday's season finale against Wolves, according to coach Mike Jackson. "Connor has been in full training this week. He is good and knowing him he will be pushing for minutes at the weekend."
Analysis: Roberts has been sidelined since July 2025 with foot and Achilles issues, making his return to full training a significant milestone after nearly a year on the sidelines. The Welsh defender had recently logged 45 minutes in the U21 Premier League Cup final against Sunderland as part of his rehabilitation, and his push for first-team involvement in the final fixture of the season underlines his determination to contribute before the campaign closes.
Returns in U21 cup final
Roberts (strain) started and played 45 minutes in the U21 Premier League Cup final against Sunderland, marking a significant milestone in his return from the foot and Achilles issues that had kept him sidelined since July 2025, the academy posted.
Analysis: Roberts has been out for the best part of a year and his appearance for the U21s is a meaningful step in his rehabilitation after such a lengthy absence. The Welsh defender is unlikely to feature for Burnley's first team before the end of the season given the limited fixtures remaining, but getting competitive minutes under his belt in the cup final puts him on track for a full return ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
