Aberdeen faces injury worries following a tense draw with St Johnstone.
Topics covered
Aberdeen Football Club is currently grappling with injury concerns following their recent 1-1 draw against St Johnstone. The match, which took place at Pittodrie, saw two key players, Vicente Besuijen and Jack Milne, sustain injuries that have left the club anxious about their availability for upcoming fixtures.
Vicente Besuijen, who made a late appearance in the match, twisted his ankle awkwardly after a challenge from St Johnstone defender Lewis Neilson during stoppage time.
Although he managed to return to the pitch, it was evident that he was in considerable pain as he struggled to move effectively. The club is now concerned that Besuijen may have sustained a serious injury, and he is scheduled to visit a specialist this week to assess the damage and determine if surgery is necessary. This situation has raised alarms among fans and coaching staff alike, as Besuijen has been a vital player for the Dons this season.
In addition to Besuijen’s injury, defender Jack Milne is also facing uncertainty regarding his fitness. Milne, who started the match at right back before switching to left back, was substituted in the 70th minute due to an ankle knock. The 21-year-old is set to undergo further tests to evaluate the severity of his injury. With both players potentially sidelined, Aberdeen’s depth will be tested as they navigate a challenging schedule ahead.
The potential loss of Besuijen and Milne adds to a growing injury list for Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin. The team has already been without left back Jack MacKenzie for the last two games, and goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov is expected to be out until January due to a hamstring injury. Furthermore, striker Pape Habib Gueye has been unavailable since late September due to a quad muscle tear. Midfielder Dante Polvara has only recently returned to action after missing the first four months of the season. The mounting injuries pose a significant challenge for Thelin as he prepares his squad for the upcoming matches.
As Aberdeen awaits updates on the injuries to Besuijen and Milne, the club’s supporters remain hopeful for a swift recovery for their key players. The Dons will need to rally together and adapt to the challenges posed by these setbacks as they aim to maintain their competitive edge in the league.
