    DANNY DRINKWATER is set to make his Burnley debut in Wednesday's clash against Sunderland.

    The 29-year-old has signed for Sean Dyche's side on loan from Chelsea until 6 January.

    He is yet to feature for the Clarets as Dyche has fielded the same starting eleven all three of their Premier League games.

    But he is set to be given his chance to impress the boss in the Carabao Cup clash.

    PEDRO is set to miss Saturday's match against Sheffield United.

    The 32-year-old suffered a hamstring injury during the warm-up before the 3-2 win over Norwich.

    Lampard said: “Pedro picked up a hamstring injury and we will assess the severity of it over the next couple of days.

    “But I think it will be tough for him to be back for next week at first glance.

    “We obviously then have the international break, so that might help, but we will be trying to get him back as quickly as possible because he’s an important player.”

    CHELSEA boss Frank Lampard has tipped Mason Mount to reach the top.

    He said: “I don't want to say he's surprised me with the way he's taking to the Premier League because I have real belief in him.”

    Before he added: “He's impressed me even more from pre-season and I believed he can absolutely go to the top if he continues to work hard.”

    FRANK LAMPARD has insisted he is very “fortunate” to have Jorginho in his squad.

    The Blues boss told Sky Sports: “What I see in Jorginho is a quality of pass and I want to see him use his range.

    “He played some great through-balls against Liverpool and I know he can do it. He can do what's asked him of and he is eager to do it.

    “I love his spirit, how he trains and how he plays. I keep going about that, but it's infectious and it's important.”

    Before he added: “From the first day of training he showed me instantly his quality and attitude. I am actually fortunate to have Jorginho.”
