Zian Flemming Injury: Back in training

Flemming (muscular) returned to training recently, per manager Scott Parker. "Zian has just started up training again. He picked up an early injury in pre-season and he's just on his way back now. He's not had any minutes, but hopefully he'll be training this week with us."

Flemming is a real doubt for the Premier League opener, an Aug. 16 clash with Spurs. The forward played a big role in the Championship, scoring 12 goals and adding four assists to help Burnley get back into the top flight. Lyle Foster could open the season as the starter even if Flemming is fit.
