We’ve had a little bit of a bug going by way of the camp so one or two boys have been lacking days right here and there. Vinnie has had a little bit of fatigue and we didn’t assume he was as much as going to Paisley and competing with such a giant bodily workforce on Saturday.
"Somewhat than depart him in his flat in Aberdeen we felt it proper to provide him a few days along with his household again in Holland. However he'll now practice with the group and hopefully be again within the squad for the twenty eighth."
Aberdeen will even assess accidents sustained by a trio of key gamers on the weekend earlier than deciding if they'll face Kilmarnock.
Goodwin added: "Duk damage his ankle. It was a poor sort out. Leighton Clarkson has obtained a thigh pressure and Hayden Coulson took a bang on the ribs. In order that’s three key gamers for us and hopefully the physio can work his magic and have them out there."
