Burnley boss Owen Coyle is happy with the way his players are approaching their tour of America.

Coyle's men flew to the USA last week and after a 2-1 defeat against the Carolina Railhawks on Friday they will be hoping to improve their pre-season tally against the Minnesota Thunder on Tuesday.

But Coyle remains upbeat and told the club's official website: "The boys have worked ever so hard and the facilities here in Carolina have been first class.

"The training has been intense and we have come on leaps and bounds in terms of our preparation and conditioning, so I'm absolutely delighted.

"We still have a few more days to work hard and another tough game to look forward to against Minnesota so everything is looking well - but again it's all about preparation and game time and we look forward to it."
