Motherwell v Aberdeen preview

Published Dec. 26, 2012 6:15 a.m. ET

Motherwell have no fresh injuries ahead of their SPL clash with Aberdeen at Fir Park on Boxing Day.

Well boss Stuart McCall is likely to name a similar squad to the one who lost to St Mirren on Friday night.

Defender Steven Saunders is continuing his recovery from knee surgery but is unlikely to return to first-team action until early in the New Year.

Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield is available after suspension, and Andrew Considine has recovered from a virus.
