Since arriving at Burnley as a free signing this summer, Nathan Redmond only had 131 minutes on the pitch so far.
The striker had a start in the EFL Cup clash against Nottingham Forest. And despite coming in as a substitute in the first three Premier League clashes, he wasn’t in the squad for the last two.
That was enough for the Turkish media to start questioning if his exit from Besiktas was worth it. Outlet Star today feature a story claiming he left fans ‘disappointed’ in Istanbul with his decision not to renew his contract and join Burnley as a free agent.
Their headline states Redmond’s world has ‘fallen apart’ with his lack of playing time with the Clarets, and that’s clearly an exaggeration about a player who’s just joined a new club.
Meanwhile, as Fanatik journalist Gokmen Ozcan went after some information, he found out why the striker hasn’t been playing for Burnley.
The reporter spoke to Redmond himself and learned that he’s injured, with no further explanation on what his issue is.
That should mean that the player is still in Vincent Kompany’s plans, and could be set for more chances as soon as he’s fit, with no need for despair right now.
