Africa-Press – South-Africa. Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is delighted to see the progress made in battling mental health by Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster, who the former defender said “had lost it completely”.
Foster withdrew himself from contention for the Bafana squad for this month and next month’s Africa Cup of Nations, writing a letter to the South African Football Association to say he wanted to concentrate on building his mental health at Burnley.The striker has played four matches back from a seven-week break after issues he has been treated for at previous club KVC Westerlo in Belgium and Burnley resurfaced.
On Saturday he was the focal point in attack again — as he has been deployed for much of the opening half of the season by Kompany, before having to take time away from the game — and scored Burnley’s second equaliser against Aston Villa.
Brazilian Douglas Luiz scored a last-gasp winner from the spot in the 89th minute of a 3-2 victory to Villa.
