Clarets confirm McGreal woe

Burnley have been hit by the news defender John McGreal faces a two-month stint on the sidelines after suffering a torn medial knee ligament against Southend last week.
The 34-year-old was ruled out of Saturday's 0-0 draw at Plymouth after twisting his knee during the Shrimpers clash at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening.
However, the Clarets have now confirmed that McGreal is not likely to feature in the first team until December.
"John has torn his knee ligament and it is in a brace at the moment," manager Steve Cotterill told the club's official website.
"He will be out of action for approximately six weeks."
