Alan Pace ‘acknowledges’ concerns over Burnley’s US pre-season tour

Burnley chairman Alan Pace has acknowledged concerns regarding the club's pre-season preparations and United States tour during a Fan Advisory Board meeting on September 16. Minutes from the meeting revealed that Pace admitted aspects of the summer program require review, noting that the football department will continue assessing the team's physical preparation.

Burnley failed to win any of their six pre-season friendlies under interim boss Mike Jackson and new manager Nicky Hayen. The squad subsequently suffered early-season injuries to Bashir Humphreys, Hannibal, Aaron Ramsey, and Dastan Satpayev, leading to questions over whether the overseas schedule was overly commercially focused.
