| Hernandez has not trained since going over his ankle and having to come off early in the weekend win over Kilmarnock, and time is running out for him to make the last Dens Park fixture of the campaign.
“It is nothing too serious, but, at the minute, Jonay is definitely struggling. We’ll check tomorrow before we make a final decision on him,” said boss Jim Duffy.
Following on from yesterday’s news that midfielder Garry Brady has signed a new two-year deal, Jim will almost certainly be speaking to his remaining four out-of-contract first-team men — Barry Smith, Lee Mair, Dave Mackay and Steven Milne — before the end of the week.
“After tomorrow, but before the Aberdeen game on Saturday, I will probably check to see what their thoughts are,” he added.
“It is not imperative that I have an answer from them right now, but it would be helpful to know what they are thinking.”
Of the quartet, there is known to be interest in Mair from Dundee United and England, where striker Milne has also been attracting attention as he finishes the season in scoring form.
Home fans attending tomorrow night will be handed special numbered tickets for a draw that will see more than 20 of them win Dee 4 Life shirts that have been signed by the entire Dark Blues squad.
Dundee are in the process of confirming a three-match pre-season trip to Northern Ireland between July 17-24. |
