Beyer marked his long-awaited return during a behind-closed-doors pre-season friendly against Fleetwood Town on 12 July 2025 but now suffered a small setback in his long road back from injury. Likely to be out for a few weeks. (Source: Matt Scrafton, Burnley Express)

Despite featuring briefly in pre-season, Beyer required further surgery after cartilage detached in his knee and caused complications. Now, after 21 months of frustration, he says he is close to being “back to full throttle.”

However, Burnley have not included him in their 25-man Premier League squad, meaning he cannot play until at least January 2026. (Source: Matt Scrafton, Burnley Express)
