(Reuters) - Burnley striker Jon Walters could be out for up to eight weeks after undergoing minor knee surgery, manager Sean Dyche said on Thursday.

Walters missed three months of the season after suffering a knee injury in September and the operation, which is necessary to repair a split in his cartilage, is a big blow to the Ireland international who is eager for game time.
