BURNLEY midfielder Chris McCann is a doubt for tomorrow's clash with Colchester at Turf Moor.

The 20-year-old suffered a minor leg injury during last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at West Brom, and was immediately withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland U21 squad for their European Championship qualifier aganist England on Tuesday.

Manager Owen Coyle said: "Chris is obviously a doubt but we haven't ruled him out just yet.

"We'll give him as much time as we can, but he's definitely struggling for the match."

Although McCann may not feature against the Championship's bottom club, Kyle Lafferty is available after completing a four-game suspension.

The Northern Ireland international has not figured for the Clarets for over a month, after being sent off in the FA Cup third round defeat to Arsenal on January 6.
