Paterson believes in McCann
Burnley striker Martin Paterson believes the return of highly-rated midfielder Chris McCann will be like signing a new player.
McCann was ruled out for at least six months following anterior cruciate knee ligament surgery three weeks ago.
He hopes to recover in time to play towards the end of the season and Paterson said: "Chris will be fine. He's mentally strong, he's a tough lad.
"The positive thing is, if he comes back fit any time this season, what a player to receive back.
"To get Chris McCann back is like a £5million signing in my eyes."
