Burnley have confirmed details of their pre-season schedule ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.

Vincent Kompany's men are preparing for life back in the top flight after winning the Championship title last term, surpassing the 100-point milestone following a 3-0 victory against Cardiff on the final day.

While several fixtures are planned before the new season, the only confirmed opponent so far is Belgian outfit Genk at the Cegeka Arena on Saturday, July 22.

An official statement read: "The Clarets will kick off their pre-season fixtures facing opposition from both the Sky Bet Championship and League One over the next couple of weeks in behind-closed-doors training ground friendlies.

"Kompany’s side will then face last season’s Jupiler Pro League runners-up Genk at the Cegeka Arena on Saturday 22nd July before flying to Lisbon for a week-long training camp in the Portuguese capital.

"Burnley will conclude their trip with a friendly on Saturday 29th July with the opposition to be announced in due course.

"For supporters wishing to attend the Genk fixture in Belgium, ticket information and details will follow."

Genk finished second in the Belgian top flight last season, narrowly missing out on the title following a dramatic 2-2 draw against Antwerp on the final day.

The friendly match could see Burnley come up against Mike Tresor, who has been linked with a move to Turf Moor this summer.

The 24-year-old managed eight goals and 24 assists last term. Brentford and Crystal Palace have also been credited with an interest in his services in recent weeks.
