Duk Aberdeen injury latest as Jim Goodwin points to packed fixture list for Pittodrie 'muscle issues'
17.01.2023 - 02:15 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Jim Goodwin admits talisman Luis 'Duk' Lopes is a doubt for Wednesday's trip to face Hearts at Tynecastle after he limped off midway through the second half of Aberdeen's Viaplay Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers.

It was key moments in certain games which cost us. One lapse in concentration, and a great strike from Callum McGregor kills us against Celtic.
"In the Rangers game we were 2-1 up and we conceded two sloppy goals in the seven minutes of injury-time. I don’t think the poor results have reflected some of the performances to be honest with you. The previous two league results? We kept two clean sheets. We should have beaten Ross County, we beat St Johnstone and we were feeling good about
