Lyle Foster
25-Year-Old
Burnley
The Championship
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Foster's 2024/25 campaign in the Championship was riddled by injuries limiting him to just 1,591 minutes. He finished with two goals and five assists, a mediocre return given that he had five goals and three assists in the prior campaign in the Premier League. The other question is minutes, as Foster struggled to find a consistent role in the starting XI after returning from injury. If he can get back some form he had prior to injury, there's no question he can produce in the Premier League if the minutes are there.
Struggles against Mexico
Foster registered one shot (zero on goal) in Thursday's 2-0 defeat against Mexico.
ANALYSIS
Foster is expected to lead Bafana Bafana's attack, but he didn't have much impact in this game and couldn't even register a shot on target. The Burnley striker will hope to have better luck in the team's next two games, as his role as the main striker in the South African squad is not in question.
