Sean Dyche insists Maxwel Cornet wasn't ready to make his Burnley debut against Everton on Monday.

The Ivory Coast winger, signed from Lyon in the summer, did not make it off the bench at Goodison Park as the Clarets went down 3-1.

"He has had one training session and our history with players suggests we make them and not break them," said Dyche, via LancsLive.

"I think that is they key, making him a Burnley player and allowing him the freedom to do that but I think it is a big ask to have one training session and then be thrown into Everton away.

"It is about getting him use to the group, familiarised with how we work – we will do some analysis with him – and educate him and his English has got to improve as well.

"It might take a little bit of time but we are happy with that signing and him and we will integrate him into the group very quickly."
