I know it is cliché, but it very much is the case for us. ' In other news, Kyle Magennis is back in training after recovering from a knee injury that has kept him out since October, though he is not ready to take part in games yet, the club confirmed. McCann stated, 'Really pleasing news that Kyle Magennis is going to join us today on the pitch.

It was just going from an amazing high for a kid to an amazing low in such a short space of time. And it’s a huge blow to us as a team because he’s so good about the dressing room.
