During the first international break of the new season, Burnley takes a much-needed vacation from the demands of league play and the pressures of transfer deadline day.
Following their draw with Blackburn Rovers in East Lancashire, Scott Parker’s team will enjoy a little vacation before hosting Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday, September 14, in a game that looks delicious.
Having said that, six players will not have the luxury of a vacation as they travel the world to participate in a variety of international matches.
