Veteran midfielder plays for 64 minutes following calf problem
Graham Alexander made his comeback from injury for Burnley's reserves on Monday night as trialist Salomon Olembe failed to impress.
Veteran midfielder Alexander has missed Burnley's last five Premier League games due to a calf strain, which also ruled him out of Scotland's squad to face Czech Republic.
However, he played 64 minutes for the Clarets' second string in the 4-1 defeat by Manchester City to boost his prospects of a first-team return.
Alexander may now be in contention for a recall for Saturday's trip to Arsenal as Burnley seek to improve upon a record of just one point in 14 away matches.
Meanwhile, Cameroon international midfielder Olembe also played in the reserve game, but was replaced at half-time.
Olembe, who can count Leeds United and Wigan Athletic among his former clubs, was largely ineffective before being taken off.
