Going back to Burnley
Tuanzebe is heading back to Burnley after completing his international duty with DR of Congo at the AFCON and should be back available for the next Premier League clash against Liverpool on Jan. 17.
ANALYSIS
Tuanzebe was eliminated with DR of Congo from the AFCON and will now head back to Burnley and be back available for the Clarets moving forward. The defender has been a regular starter in the backline prior to his trip to Morocco and will likely claim back that role now that he is back available. His next chance of playing in the Premier League will likely happen against Liverpool on Jan. 17. Until then, Hjalmar Ekdal is expected to see a greater role for Burnley.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Old Trafford departure
Manchester United are expected to release Tuanzbe in the summer, according to The Manchester Evening News.
ANALYSIS
This shouldn't be a surprise, as Tuanzebe has failed to replicate an impressive youth career at the top level. He seems likely to continue his career in the Championship or overseas rather than in another Premier League team.
