Sam Vokes: Sean Dyche has been a "big influence"

Burnley strike Sam Vokes admits that manager Sean Dyche has had a "big influence" on his career in the last couple of years.

Burnley striker Sam Vokes has said that Sean Dyche has had a "big influence" on his career during his injury struggles over the last couple of years.

The Wales international suffered a serious knee injury during Burnley's promotion-winning Championship campaign, keeping him out of the first half of the season.

The 25-year-old told Sky Sports News: "He's been a big influence on my career in the last couple of years. Through the injury he was great in getting me back fit and keeping me involved with the lads on pre-season tours and things like that.

"I think the lads appreciate what he's done and that's why we try so hard for him. It's not an individual thing at this club. It's a team thing. We've worked really hard on that.

"I think from the first night, when we came in against Chelsea at home, we've put in great performances and shown what we're all about."

Burnley face Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor this afternoon.
