There was no further bulletin but it was clear that Macca was still injured given that he hasn’t featured in any games at all and today it was revealed that he in fact had an operation on his knee yesterday.
Stan Ternent revealed that he will be out for at least another month and told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, "Mark had an operation on Tuesday to have his knee cleared out, and I hope he will be back in a month or so."
Until last week he was the only cover for Branch and Arthur in the centre of defence but that has now been relieved with the signing of David May.
McGregor remains one of four players on the injured list along with Gareth Taylor, Joel Pilkington and Earl Davis.
