England

Midfielder Josh Benson joined the Clarets in July 2018 after ending a two-year scholarship with Arsenal.

The play-maker had been with the Gunners' Academy since under-nine level.

Benson impressed in training and in a handful of games for the Clarets' under-23s in the latter stages of the 2017/18 season to earn a professional deal at Turf Moor.

[Reecey1987]

Are his parents them who sell beds?

he has a cousin called hedges

[HollandsPies]

Hope it's Benson by name and not by nature.

[claptrappers_union]

Is this a message to the board by Dyche?

[bobinho]

Could his inclusion be a statement from Dyche to the board?

Or has he genuinely earned his spot?

Either way, good luck to him if he gets on, in what is arguably the game the everyone wants to be a part of.

Beat me to it C_U...

[claretburns]

His dad Ron Benson was once called up to the England squad whilst playing for Plymouth Argyle at the age of 46.

[summitclaret]

Are his parents them who sell beds?

No crisps

[Buxtonclaret]

We'll all know him when he's comes on late - very, in SD stlye - and scores the winner In 90 +5.

[Claretnick]

Is this a message to the board by Dyche?

Maybe or maybe not...perhaps Defour is injured again or on his way out of the club. Which other midfielder should go on the bench? Should give a boost to the U23 squad, seeing 2 colleagues involved at Old Trafford.

Can't help being a little disappointed by this question from Claret 'fans'? He plays regularly for the under 23s, Mentioned in all team reports on this site and is a promising young player that has impressed. I've seen him play and he's good.

NB for Burnley supporters - he is one of our players. Wise up and take some interest beyond the first team.

[dougcollins]

Can't believe some of the sh1te I read on here.

[Herts Clarets]

I always shudder when I see J Benson Burnley after the last clown we had here

Not everyone is that obsessed with Burnley that they follow the youth teams, some of us just enjoying watching a first team game.

[Ashingtonclaret46]

He played 98 minutes for the Under 23s yesterday afternoon and the last 38 minutes of that was in a team of 10 men.
I think that he will have been included to give him a feel of being part of the squad, I doubt that he will get on after yesterday's exploits but you never know. Good luck to him anyway and also to Dwight McNeil who is playing against the club who let him go.

[not waving]

Don't think knowing who plays for the 'reserves (Brady, Defour, Gibson, Pope have all done so this season) is an 'obsession'. I call it being an interested fan.

I get the u23 updates via Twitter but unless a player scores you don't regularly hear of all the players, I mainly get info about youngsters on here ! So I think the op raises a genuine question by asking who is he

[Ashingtonclaret46]

Not everyone is that obsessed with Burnley that they follow the youth teams, some of us just enjoying watching a first team game.

Certainly not anything about being obsessed, some of us love to watch football at all levels and anywhere in the country. Josh Benson is a good player at Under 23 level and could well make the break into the first team squad on a regular basis and good luck to him.

And that's hard core enough with our approach to games and style of play....

All the under 23 games are commented live on this site by CT. Excellent coverage of the Clarets squad. All match reports are on this site. Player details are on this site.

The OP uses this site to ask a question, so the site is a reference. Suggest some background reading and show your working. All answers already exist.

Some of us have other things going on in our lives that takes up quite a lot of time and money.

I have always watched the first team. I shall continue to do so. So take your high and mighty superior fan attitude to the under 23 games and leave it there. ****.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I might take more interest in our under 23’s if they didn’t play the majority of games while most people are at work.

[Darthlaw]

Just seen his DOB and it had me thinking, have we had our first player born after 2000 yet?

Haha! Some people have a life beyond Burnley FC, Mr Superfan.

Go out and get laid or something.

I’m sure there was another relatively unknown journeyman from York City called up to the same England squad.
