Premier League: Burnley lose key midfielder Dean Marney for the rest of the season
Tuesday 10 February 2015 11:14, UK
Burnley midfielder Dean Marney has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
The former England U21 international suffered a knee injury during the first half of Sunday's 2-2 draw against West Brom which forced him to be withdrawn at half time.
The news is a major blow to manager Sean Dyche who failed to add to his squad during the January transfer window.
Burnley also lost defender Kevin Long to the same injury last month while striker Sam Vokes missed the first part of the season as he recovered from a ruptured cruciate.
