DONS defender Zander Diamond could miss next month’s Scottish Cup semi-final against Queen of the South.
Manager Jimmy Calderwood today admitted he is worried Diamond, pictured, could be sidelined for up to six weeks after suffering a face injury in their 1-0 quarter-final victory over Celtic.
He was unable to play in Saturday’s 1-1 SPL draw with St Mirren and will also sit out the semi if doctors discover Diamond has suffered a fracture.
Calderwood said: “It all depends on the extent of the damage which we will be able to see properly once the swelling on Zander’s cheek goes down. “But we’ve warned if he has a fracture Zander will be out for up to six weeks. “That would be a massive blow.â€
Jamie Smith, Derek Young and Stuart Duff are back in training.
Let's all hope it isn't fractured
