Burnley's Zeki Amdouni returns for pre-season training after Euro 2024 exploits
Zeki Amdouni has linked up with Burnley’s squad in Spain following his participation in the European Championships.
The 23-year-old was given an extended break following his involvement for Switzerland at this summer’s tournament in Germany.
Amdouni featured in four of Switzerland’s five games at the Euros, a journey that ended at the quarter-final stage when they were knocked out on penalties by England following a 1-1 draw. Amdouni scored his spot kick.
The forward will now be hoping to have a real impact on the Championship this coming season following an underwhelming debut campaign with the Clarets in the Premier League last term.
Amdouni was a regular under Vincent Kompany, making 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring five times.
The Swiss international signed a five-year deal with the Clarets last summer after joining from Lausanne-Sport for an undisclosed fee.
In footage captured by Clarets+, Amdouni was seen being given a resounding reception as he arrived at Burnley’s warm weather training camp in Girona.
The Clarets are currently being put through their paces in searing heat at the Camiral golf and wellness resort, where they’re spending the week before playing their final friendly of the summer against Cadiz on Sunday.
The fixture takes place at the 2,900-capacity Antonio Barbadillo Stadium in Arcos de la Frontera, which is about a 40-minute drive from the city of Cadiz.
Kick-off is at 6.30pm on Sunday, August 4.
The game will serve as Burnley’s final friendly before their 2024/25 Championship campaign gets underway with a trip to Luton Town on Monday, August 12.
