Quotes from P&J:
”We recently revealed how midfield playmaker Clarkson, 24, looks set to be heading for the Aberdeen exit door in next month’s transfer window, after a departure was weighed up by player and club in the summer.
The former Liverpool middle-man has since fallen down the pecking order this term and is unwilling to sit on the Dons bench.
Clarkson has not featured in Aberdeen’s four matches so far in December, and was left out of the match-day squad entirely against Kilmarnock.
Thelin insists he considers the Englishman a “top player” and he will be part of the plans in Europe this week.
The manager said: “There’s a game on Thursday and he’s a really good player, a top player.
“We try to give the players as many minutes as possible and make the team grow and also respect our individuals so they can show themselves.
“It’s a mix of everything, but he’s a really good player and he’s going to be in Prague on Thursday.””
