The former Leeds United man could be in action for Burnley tonight.
Speaking to Burnley’s official website, manager Sean Dyche has praised former Leeds United left-back Charlie Taylor ahead of a potential reunion with his old club.
The Clarets host the Championship leaders at Turf Moor tonight in a third-round League Cup clash.
The 24-year-old, who began his career at Leeds, joined the Premier League side on a Bosman this past summer after refusing to sign a new contract at Elland Road, tarnishing his legacy with the club’s fanbase as a result.
However, it is fair to say that his move to the top flight hasn’t gone as planned, with Taylor, yet to play a minute of Premier League football, only featuring in the Carabao Cup under Dyche so far.
He faced Blackburn Rovers in the last round and is expected to come into the first XI for tonight’s visit of Thomas Christiansen’s side, and Dyche has told Burnley’s official website that he is doing “fantastically well” in spite of his lack of action.
He said: “It is almost impossible that Charlie is not involved at the moment. He’s doing fantastically well and I thought he was terrific against Blackburn.
“It’s more of a tactical reason as to why he hasn’t been involved in the last two. His time will come, and he’s certainly applying himself correctly.
“He’s just one example of many who are really pushing, because there is a real competition in the group.”
