Clarets At Full Strength For Singapore Trip

Posted on: Fri 16 Jul 2010

Tyrone Mears and Chris Eagles are both included in a full strength 24-man squad for the Clarets' ground-breaking tour of Singapore.

Eagles will travel with the rest of Brian Laws' senior squad for the three-match trip after rejecting a move to Scottish Premier League champions Rangers.

And Mears will also fly out on Saturday after missing the Clarets' opening two pre-season friendlies with a hamstring strain.

Diego Penny misses out through injury and so, until the Clarets are able to strengthen their goalkeeping position, former Clarets' keeper Craig Mawson - the Centre of Excellence goalkeeping coach at Turf Moor - will provide the back-up for Brian Jensen.

Laws is still pursuing his main goalkeeping target and hopes the deal will be completed at the start of next week following a delay at the player's parent club.

However, it remains to be seen if any new signing will fly out to link up with the Clarets for the second half of the trip.

The tour will be Burnley's first to South East Asia and will culminate in an exhibition game against Singapore Selection - a squad of players from both the Asian Games Team and the Singapore National Senior team - for the FIS Asian Challenge Cup on Saturday, 24 July.

Match schedule:

Tue 20th July: v Gombak United at at Tampines Stadium (5pm KO)

Thu 22nd July: v Home United at Tampines Stadium (5pm KO)

Sat 24th July: FIS Asian Challenge Cup v Singapore Asian Games squad at Jalan Besar Stadium (7.30pm KO)

Burnley touring squad: Jensen, Alexander, Fox, Duff, McDonald, Iwelumo, Paterson, Mears, Thompson, McCann, Fletcher, Bikey, Carlisle, Wallace, Elliott, Easton, Marney, Cort, Eagles, Edgar, Rodriguez, Harvey, Eckersley, Mawson.
