Defensive Problems For Jim Duffy

With Jonay Hernandez and Tom Hutchinson back in training, but lacking match fitness, Dundee have been dealt another double blow leading up to Saturday's Cup match with Aberdeen. Defenders Zurab Khizanishvilli and Lee Mair are both doubtful for the game. Zurab hurt himself training on an all weather surface whilst Lee appears to be suffering from flu.

On the positive side strikers Mark Burchill and Steve Lovell should be back in contention for a place in the side.
