Liverpool full-back Jon Flanagan is set to remain on loan at Burnley until the end of the season.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche had suggested earlier this week that the 24-year-old's stay at Turf Moor could be cut short during the January transfer window.

However, the ECHO understands that there is no break clause in the season-long loan that the clubs agreed last August.

Flanagan found his opportunities limited in the first half of the season - making just three Premier League starts and two further substitute appearances.

But the hope is that as he builds up his fitness he will secure more regular game-time over the coming months ahead of a return to Liverpool in the summer.

"We knew there’d be an adaptation period for Flanno," Dyche said.

"He knows about the players now and how we operate as a team, on the training pitch and I think that’s done him some good so he’s closer to where he wants to be. We’ll monitor his situation and him with us.”

Flanagan made his comeback for Liverpool in January 2016 after 18 months out with a knee injury.

The Academy graduate went on to make eight appearances under Jurgen Klopp during the second half of last season and earned himself a new three-year contract.
