Eddie Howe has confirmed defender Shane Duffy will return to Everton following the end of his 28-day loan spell.
“Part of the reason we took him was to look long term with Shane,” the Burnley boss said.
“We’ll wait and see how pre-season goes for him and what his options are and how Everton feel, but he’s done himself no harm and he goes back with our best wishes.”
