The 26-year-old joins Houston on loan from the English Championship side in a deal that runs until June 2027

Foster scored 12 goals and registered 12 assists in 99 appearances for Burnley.

Houston Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad believes Lyle Foster will add power, pace and intensity to the club’s attack after completing his loan move from Burnley.

“Lyle presents another powerful, mobile forward to our attacking group,” Dynamo President of Soccer Pat Onstad told his club’s official website.

“He threatens the space behind the back line, links play well and brings the work rate and intensity that we demand without the ball.

“Lyle’s experience in the Premier League and on the international stage will strengthen our group, and we are excited to welcome him to Houston as we prepare for a strong finish to the season.”

Burnley’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea saw the Bafana Bafana striker among the key players left out of the squad.

Parker confirmed that Foster missed out due to an illness that swept through the squad.

“He was struggling a little bit with his stomach, so we decided that it was best to bring him off,” Parker said, according to the Burnley Express.

“There’s been some illness [including Foster]. Lesley [Ugochukwu] as well, he missed training on Thursday due to it.

“So, there’s been a little bit of illness in the camp, Bash [Humphreys] as well reported last night at a hotel that he was struggling.

“So, there has been a little bit of that, but we got through it.”

The win sees Burnley move up to 16th place in the league standings with 10 points from nine matches.

Foster was delighted to have scored the winning goal but remained humbled and praised his team for the win.

“I feel amazing, ecstatic and more than anything, I’m happy for the team,” Foster said post-match.

“I think we deserved it, especially going two goals up and with the performance we showed.

“I was just blessed today to score the winner. It’s an amazing feeling and more than anything I’m just happy for the boys.”

The Belgian and Bayern have reached a principle deal, according to German tabloid Bild and network Sky as well as the English publication The Guardian.

The German team is therefore negotiating a compensation settlement for Burnley, where Kompany’s contract is still valid for four years.

Just one season in the English top division, Burnley was demoted from the Premier League.

In February, Bayern and Tuchel decided to split ways after Bayer Leverkusen, the eventual champions, pulled ahead of them.

Of the several candidates connected to Bayern, Kompany is the most recent.

Bayern was apparently turned down by Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso, Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann, and Austria manager Ralf Rangnick.

Then Bayern tried to hang onto Tuchel, who guided them to a Champions League semi-final defeat against Real Madrid. But Tuchel claimed the parties “could not reach an agreement” on his remaining in the Bavarian capital.

Kompany was a player in the Bundesliga with Hamburg before moving to Manchester City.

Burnley won the second division title the next season after he took over as manager, and he led them to the Premier League.

But Kompany was unable to keep Burnley in the top flight, and the squad was demoted to 19th place in the 20-team league.

After last week’s 6-0 victory against West Ham, Arsenal found themselves back in the scoring column. Four minutes in, captain Martin Odegaard opened the score with a sharp effort into the bottom corner following a feed from Gabriel Martinelli.

Following a foul on Leandro Trossard in the box by Lorenz Assignon, Bukayo Saka scored from the spot to double the lead.

As Arsenal picked up the tempo, Saka, an England forward, scored his second goal shortly after the break. He did so by cutting inside and firing a shot that went into the roof of the net after latching onto a deft cross from Odegaard.

In the box, Havertz’s poorly struck shot was blocked, but Trossard was quick to react and curl in his third goal in as many league games.

The Gunners’ victory was secured when Jakub Kiwior’s long pass down the line found an open Havertz, who slipped past the defence and fired past home keeper James Trafford.

With five straight victories and 21 goals scored, Arsenal has pulled two points clear of leaders Liverpool, while Burnley is still in the relegation zone.

The 23-year-old missed out on the Africa Cup of Nations with Bafana Bafana due to his mental health treatment.

Foster is now also expected to miss South Africa’s upcoming international friendly matches against Algeria and Andorra.

Kompany has since provided an update on the fitness of Lyle Foster after he missed out on representing Bafana at the AFCON.

“Lyle Foster won’t be available yet,” Kompany told his club’s official website.

“He’s had surgery on a chronic issue that needed resolving. It’s not the end of his season, but he will miss out for a bit,” saying he would give a further update in the coming weeks.

At Etihad Stadium, Haaland made his debut as a 71st-minute substitute on December 6, his first since breaking his foot in the team’s defeat at Aston Villa.

Alvarez turned 24 in style, despite the fact that the Norwegian’s main contribution was to make teammates Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva laugh from the bench when he miskicked what was supposed to be a shot on the turn.

Being the 10th player to score two goals or more on their birthday in a Premier League match, the Argentine won man-of-the-match honours.

Both attempts were made during the first phase. In the sixteenth minute, Matheus Nunes sent a beautiful chipped cross into the six-yard box, where Alvarez headed home.

Six minutes later, Kevin de Bruyne shaped to curl a cross into the box, but instead rolled a perfect 20-yard pass that just needed the first-time finish. Alvarez profited from this masterfully executed training ground free-kick routine.

In the first minute of the second half, Rodri scored his third goal in style, finishing off a cut-back from Phil Foden on the edge of the area.

The way his team persevered until the very end would have pleased Burnley manager and former City captain Vincent Kompany.

At least they managed to salvage a goal during injury time, as defender Ameen Al-Dakhil headed in their first goal in seven trips to this venue since 2018.

Nevertheless, they were ultimately unable to prevent City, who are currently in second place, from winning for the eighth time in all competitions and for the 13th time against Burnley, who are in second place.

With a game remaining, City is tied with third-place Arsenal and five points behind leaders Liverpool in the race for an unprecedented fourth straight league championship.

Recent reports have suggested that the Sundowns defender has attracted the interest of Burnley.

The 28-year-old has been in fine form for the Brazilians this season and has already helped them claim silverware after being crowned champions of the African Football League.

Mudau has since revealed that he is happy at Sundowns but would jump at the chance to make a move abroad.

“Obviously there are rumours here and there but I’m focused on my team, my current team, Mamelodi Sundowns,” Mudau told SAFA.

“I’m very happy, to be honest, but if an opportunity like this can come, obviously I’d take it, you know.”

The 23-year-old joined the Clarets from Belgian club Westerlo in January of 2023 and has scored three goals and grabbed three assists in eight appearances across all competitions.

Foster, who is 23 years old, first told the club in July that he was depressed, and he has now asked them again for help.

Vice-Captain Percy Tau said it was disheartening to see some of the negativity commentary circulating after Burnley confirmed that Foster is taking a break.

Tau has sent a message of support to Foster after he received negative comments towards him from taking time away from football.

“It’s hard when you see the negativity doing the rounds,” Tau told Safa.

“We are human beings with feelings at the end of the day, and when you internalise and realise that it’s not really about you but more about people venting and taking their anger out in your name, it becomes hurtful.

“It is hard to be here, but at the end of the day this is our job, this is what we love to do and sadly it comes with the bad side.”

The 23-year-old has revealed that he will be taking some time away from football to deal with his mental well-being despite his form for Burnley so far this season.

As a result, Foster withdrew from his duties with the national team for their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda.

Williams has urged South Africans and members of the media to show their support towards Foster as he deal with his mental health.

“We miss Lyle and know he won’t be here, but we send out our thoughts and prayers,” Williams told Safa.

“He should know that we back him and we are behind him.”
