Aberdeen v Dundee Utd preview

Striker Rory Fallon is a doubt for Aberdeen's SPL match with Dundee United at Pittodrie on Wednesday after missing training with an ankle problem.

Defender Andrew Considine is expected to be out for much of the rest of the season after requiring surgery on a broken leg sustained in the 3-1 win at Dundee.

Ryan Fraser should be available despite undergoing treatment for an ankle knock, while Ryan Jack, Chris Clark, Gary Naysmith and Isaac Osbourne remain out.

The suspension of Brian McLean means Dundee United face a defensive reshuffle, unless Sean Dillon recovers from a thigh injury sooner than expected.

If Dillon is out, captain Jon Daly is likely to be moved from striker to centre-back, while midfielder Willo Flood (groin) is doubtful after going off midway through the first half of the loss to St Mirren.

Winger Gary Mackay-Steven is still out after breaking his hand.
