Ameen Al-Dakhil’s withdrawal from the Belgium match raises more questions about Burnley’s injuries.

After a fruitful preseason trial, the 32-year-old had consented to sign with the Clarets; however, the club pulled out of the agreement at the last minute.

Following his release from Everton at the end of the previous season, the winger began the campaign as a free agent after attempts to sign with Turkey and Saudi Arabia failed as well.

However, following two weeks of training with the Hatters, the England international has now signed a short-term contract that runs until January.

The past several weeks have been beneficial for both sides, and I think it’s a terrific fit,” Townsend stated.

It had to be correct, in my opinion, and I believe that for the past two weeks, we have looked at one another and accomplished that.

I’ve seen how I can benefit this club, and the manager has also seen how my energy and expertise can benefit the team on the training field, in the dressing room, or on the pitch.

Speaking on his unsuccessful attempt to sign with Burnley last month, Townsend disclosed that he sobbed when he realized the deal was no longer available.

Receiving a contract offer, signing it, and then waiting for the documentation to arrive just to find out later that the contract is being taken away from you…To be honest, I was crying when I got out of there. He told the BBC, I felt like my Premier League dream was over.
