McCann set for Burnley playing return

Chris McCann is set to return to action for Burnley.

It was feared the Irish midfielder may not have figured again this season after suffering a knee injury in Burnley’s Premier League defeat to Bolton on January 26.

But the 22-year-old Dubliner has been pencilled in for a possible comeback in the reserves against Manchester United in Altrincham tomorrow night.

Curiously, McCann could line up against United midfielder Owen Hargreaves, who has been sidelined since September 2008 due to tendinitis in both knees.
