Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton makes his comeback from a shoulder injury in a training-ground friendly against Blackpool.

Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton has moved closer to a first-team return after taking part in a friendly at the club's training ground.

In September, Heaton sustained a shoulder injury during the club's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League, and the issue has kept the England stopper out of action for over five months.

Heaton made a return to light training in January but the 31-year-old has now successfully come through his first match between the sticks.

The Clarets goalkeeper conceded a penalty during the first minute of an encounter with Blackpool, but Burnley were able to end the game with a 1-1 draw.

Forward Chris Wood and midfielder Dean Marney also made their return from injury during the match.
