Tarkowski scored his first goal for the club on Sunday to cancel out Andre Gray's opener before Troy Deeney and Will Hughes sealed the Premier League victory for the visitors.

"We'll look forward to Thursday and go and get a positive result in Greece," Tarkowski told the club website https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/news/2018/august/tarkowski-aims-for-euro-tonic.

"It'll be another tough test, but so far we've really enjoyed ourselves in Europe and it's something we will be looking to continue."
