FOOTBALL fans have been left feeling sorry for Wout Weghorst after Burnley RETURNED for pre-season.
The Clarets squad were astonishingly pictured back on the training ground before the 2022/23 season has even concluded.
Manchester City, the former club of manager Vincent Kompany still have a Champions League final to play at the weekend.
However, Weghorst’s and the English domestic season only finished with the FA Cup final last weekend, when City narrowly beat Manchester United 2-1.
Weghorst, a January signing for United, is set to return to Burnley in pre-season with the Red Devils choosing not to sign him permanently.
While many stars such as Jay Rodriguez were seen in the group, Weghorst was not spotted with his season only finishing about 48 hours ago.

The Dutch striker failed to score a league goal during his loan spell at United.
Despite this, recent reports suggest Everton are interested in a transfer, with Sean Dyche wanting to reunite with the star he brought to the Clarets.
