Flying start for Burton

Deon Burton will jump off a plane from El Salvador and go straight on to the Brentford coach for tomorrow's trip to Torquay.

The Jamaica striker has chosen to play in the League One clash despite a 10-hour flight back from South America following the Reggae Boys' 3-0 win on Wednesday.

Burton arrives at Heathrow today where he will be met by Martin Allen's squad en route to Devon. Allen said: "He has done a lot of travelling so we gave him the option of missing the game, but he said he wanted to play."

Michael Dobson (knee) is doubtful so Sam Sodje may keep his place at right-back.

Transfer-listed Stephen Hunt is also included in the squad after making his first appearance of the season in last week's 2- 1 victory over Bournemouth.
