Burnley will finish their pre-season preparations with a friendly against La Liga side Cadiz at Turf Moor on Saturday, August 7. The Clarets – who kicked off pre-season with wins over Morecambe, Salford City, Oldham and Blackpool – travel to Nottingham Forest this weekend. Cadiz finished 12th in the Spanish top-flight last season, and will provide a final test for Sean Dyche’s men before their Premier League opener against Brighton. And the Burnley boss is looking forward to seeing fans back at Turf Moor for only the second time since March 2020.
Sean Dyche said: “We have a recent history of playing against good sides from Europe at this stage of our preparation and this is another one. Any side from the top division of one of Europe’s biggest leagues will provide excellent opposition and Cadiz will be the same after their successful return to La Liga last season. We look forward to welcoming them to Turf Moor, and also seeing an increased number of fans back inside the ground. That’s been a big feature of our pre-season games so far and hopefully bodes well for the season to come.”
