Joe Worrall

In this scout report on Joe Worrall, Burnley’s defensive stalwart, it’s evident that his style of play is rooted in solid defensive fundamentals, particularly in the penalty area where he’s a commanding presence. His ability to snuff out danger is complemented by a strong sense of positioning, making him a reliable figure during set pieces and in open play. While his ball recovery is commendable, suggesting a knack for intercepting and breaking up opposition attacks, Worrall's ball retention could see improvement, as it sometimes invites pressure. On the ball, he demonstrates a decent range of progressive passing, helping to initiate attacks from the back. Although not a natural threat going forward, his occasional forays can surprise defences. Overall, Worrall remains a key asset, reinforcing Burnley’s backline with his robust defensive play.
