The left-back returns to the field for the first time since the 1-0 win at Liverpool in January for this evening’s huge Premier League clash with Fulham.

The Clarets need to win to open up an 11-point gap over Fulham in the relegation places, otherwise Dyche’s men risk being dragged back into danger.

Here’s how Burnley fans reacted to the team news on social media:

@Ethan99Con: I beg Josh Brownhill comes back in soon, our best midfielder.

@danbenn2: Oo Charlie Taylor. Oo Charlie Taylor.

@Lucyy_Thompson: Thank the lord for Taylor.

@riggsybfc: Kissed that picture of Charlie Taylor. Great that he's back.

@StanhillClaret: Taylor back. Great news. Strong side. COYC.

@AndrewGreaves84: Brilliant to see Taylor back! C’mon Clarets!
