Because we have to run a squad of at least 25 in the PL, which means many players at Burnley, and at every PL club, not featuring. You might as well ask why Pep signed Kalvin Phillips, why Ian Maatsen has never featured for Chelsea, why did Forest take Divock Origi on loan from Milan ?

As for Obafemi, he may be fit in that he's not on the injured list, but he's not match fit or he'd be getting minutes with us. I doubt he's even close to match fit, maybe he never will be, and any club taking him on loan would be taking a huge risk, such a risk that I just cannot imagine any club wanting to take him. I suspect we're lumbered with him.
