BRIAN Laws is hoping Chris McCann will hand him a fitness boost this weekend.

The midfielder limped off 12 minutes into his first Premier League game for four months after twisting his knee at Bolton Wanderers midweek, but the Burnley boss is hopeful of a speedy recovery.

"The injury itself has settled down pretty quickly so I'm not ruling him out for the weekend. I think it frightened him more than anything else being out for so long and getting a tweak on it.

"It's nothing to serious. It's the same knee but a different injury.

"He's done some light training.”
