SNS GroupAberdeen have been dealt a blow with news that forward Pape Habib Gueye is out of action until January.
Gueye has hit six goals for the Dons as the Pittodrie side has enjoyed an impressive 12-game winning streak.
The 25-year-old missed Saturday’s victory over Dundee after suffering an injury on the training ground. Aberdeen have now revealed that the forward has torn a quad muscle and will miss around 14 weeks of action, meaning he won’t be back on the pitch this year.
“It’s a big blow for Pape given how well he has started the season but he is an optimistic guy and he will have our excellent medical team to guide him through the next few months,” Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin said.
“We trust the squad we have in place, we believe in the players, and we will work to find solutions to ensure we remain effective in that area of the pitch.
“Everyone at Cormack Park will support Pape to get him back to fitness as soon as possible and we wish him well with his recovery.”
