Aberdeen midfielder Funso Ojo faces three months on the sidelines
ByDanny Law
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has confirmed midfielder Funso Ojo has been ruled out for three months.
The 28-year-old Belgian, who joined the Dons from Scunthorpe United in a £125,000 move in the summer, suffered a hamstring injury in last week’s 1-1 draw with St Johnstone.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday’s trip to Livingston, McInnes also confirmed that Craig Bryson is facing four weeks out with an ankle injury.
The Dons manager is left with a threadbare squad ahead of a busy week with the trip to Livi followed by Wednesday’s Betfred Cup quarter-final against Hearts at Tynecastle and a trip to Ibrox to meet Rangers.
Scott Wright has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining an ACL injury in training last week but Jon Gallagher is expected to be fit to feature against Livingston, despite being taken for an X-ray on a suspected broken leg following last week’s draw against the Perth Saints.
