Strain could force Pars’ Austin McCann out for three weeks

Dunfermline’s Austin McCann could be out for up to three weeks after picking up a medial ligament strain at the weekend.

The defender lasted the full 90 minutes of the Pars 2-0 defeat at Queen of the South.

Boss Jim McIntyre told Courier Sport, “Austin’s hurt the medial ligament in his left knee.

“It’s still a wee bit early to say just how long he’ll be out, but initially we’re looking at two to three weeks.”

He added, “He picked it up in a tackle against Queen of the South and never really managed to shrug it off.”
