Aberdeen have suffered an injury hammer blow as boss Jim Goodwin revealed summer signing Callum Roberts is set for a significant spell on the sidelines.
Goodwin reckons that the attacking midfielder will be out for at least eight to ten weeks. Roberts came off late into the second half during the 4-1 win over St Mirren last weekend with a hamstring problem.
The Dons are already without Jack MacKenzie and Connor Barron to long-term injuries while fellow new boy Hayden Coulson pulled up injured 13 minutes into the clash with the Buddies but scans have shown the issue to be less severe that originally thought. It remains to be seen if Roberts' layoff will cause the Pittodrie hierarchy to dip into the transfer market for a replacement with Luis Lopes and Shayden Morris providing Goodwin options in the role the former Notts County star would play.
