SEAN Dyche expects Matej Vydra to get up to speed quickly on his Clarets return as Chris Wood’s Olympic involvement extends into the knockout stages.

New Zealand’s 0-0 draw with Romania means Wood will move on to the quarter-finals in Tokyo delaying his Burnley return further.

Vydra featured for the Czech Republic at Euro 2020 but is now back at Barnfield preparing for the new Premier League campaign.

He was not involved in the 1-0 win at Blackpool on Tuesday night but given he saw plenty of action for his country, Dyche expects the frontman to hit the ground running.

“He will do a few tough days just to bring him up to speed,” he said.

“He’s pretty fit because he had a period with the Czech team so we hope to get him up to speed quite quickly.”

One player who was in action at Bloomfield Road was new ‘keeper Wayne Hennessey, playing on the day Bailey Peacock-Farrell was allowed to join Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan.

Nick Pope was not involved against the Seasiders with Will Norris playing the final 25 minutes.

“We like Bailey and we think he’s producing and improving but we still think he needs more regular first-team football,” Dyche told the club website.

“With Wayne coming in, he’s an experienced pro and he gets it and I think he enjoyed being around the group, just to get that first feel.

“There were a number of productive performances tonight.

“We are still looking at options as well, to see one or two we can bring in, but you can see players looking fit and there’s a nice sharpness to them.”
