BIT-PART Burnley hitman Dimitrios Papadopoulos is off on his travels again to spearhead Greece's U21 European Championship challenge.

The 21-year-old - skipper of the side - has been called up for a vital double-header next month against Spain and the Ukraine.

But Papadopoulos leaves with a warning ringing in his ears from Clarets boss Stan Ternent, who has warned he will not tolerate another season of jet-setting by the striker.

The frustrated Clarets chief knows he needs all hands to the pump as he fights to assemble a side capable of punching its weight in possibly the toughest first division campaign since he took charge at Turf Moor.

In a blast at the Greek FA, Ternent warned "something has to give" to avoid a repeat of the past two seasons, where Burnley have been forced to plan without Papadopoulos for large periods.

Ternent moaned: "Naturally we are all delighted Dimi has again been called up. He's established himself as the captain of the side and that has to be good for his overall development.

"But something has to give because the situation is getting ridiculous.

"I don't mind him travelling back to Greece in the summer, but I do get the hump when he misses games.

"We are the ones paying his wages, even when he's away on international duty, which appears to be happening more and more.

"But in the real world, who would pay your wages if you were working for someone else?"

Papadopoulos has started just nine games for Burnley since his £500,000 signing from Akrititos in July 2001.

This summer, Papadopoulos jets out to face the Spaniards in Huesca on June 6 before, four days later, making an emotional return to his former stamping ground Akrititos as the Greek U21s entertain the former Soviet state.

Meanwhile, Ternent has been linked with a swoop for out-of contract Wolves defender Mohamed Camara.

The left back is surplus to requirements following Wanderers promotion to the Premiership earlier this week.
