Forward · Burnley

SwitzerlandActive

Zeki Amdouni is back at Championship side Burnley after an ACL injury wrecked most of his 2025–26 Premier League season and a 2024–25 loan at Benfica (Wikipedia; Burnley Express).

Career

The Geneva attacker came through Servette, Meyrin and Étoile Carouge. Burnley signed him on 19 July 2023 on a five-year contract; he scored his first Premier League goal in a 1–1 draw at Nottingham Forest on 18 September 2023 (Wikipedia).

On 29 August 2024 he joined Benfica on a season-long loan (24 Primeira Liga games, seven goals). He tore his ACL the following summer, returned as a substitute in Burnley's defeat at Leeds at the start of May 2026, then joined Switzerland at the World Cup (Burnley Express, 3 July 2026).

How they play

An attacking midfielder or forward, 1.85 m. Burnley Express called him the last Clarets player still at the 2026 World Cup after Switzerland beat Algeria 2–0 on 3 July, his first minutes since the group opener against Qatar. He clipped a penalty against the post as Bradford knocked Burnley out of the League Cup on 26 August (Telegraph & Argus).

Where they are now

English Wikipedia (updated 26 August 2026) lists Burnley as his club, shirt number 11, in the EFL Championship. The Athletic's Burnley page on 1 September 2026 had the Clarets 22nd after three league games.
