Doctors have labelled the progress Chris McCann has made from knee ligament damage "a miracle".

The young midfielder's recovery from such a serious injury is well ahead of schedule.

And he has targeted the game against Manchester United at Old Trafford next month as his comeback game.

The news comes as a great boost to boss Owen Coyle, whose squad has been stretched to the limit this season.

But with choice comes tough decisions.

Who plays in the centre of midfield if everyone is fit? Does Andre Bikey drop back to defence, and if so, what happens to Steven Caldwell and Clarke Carlisle? Will Wade Elliott be switched back to the wings?

It will be a tough conundrum for Coyle, but one he'll enjoy the luxury of solving.

What's your first choice midfield?
