| The Irish full-back had to come off in the first half of last week’s CIS Cup tie against Celtic after tweaking a hamstring and was forced to miss out on the victory over Morton at the weekend.
However, although he remains on the treatment table, the manager hasn’t given up hope the 29-year-old will be available for the game against the league leaders.
“We are still assessing the situation with Davie, but the good thing is it wasn’t a pulled hamstring, so I don’t think it’s a six-week job,” said Alex today.
“We’ll see how he goes over the next few days, but it’s far too early to rule him out for Saturday.”
Worrell remained on the treatment table at Dens yesterday as the Dark Blues squad were put through their paces at New Douglas Park. The Dens men were taking the opportunity to test out Accies’ plastic surface and the manager described the workout as a “worthwhile experience”.
Meanwhile, a mainly young squad will head for a closed-door game in Stirling tonight. However, their numbers will be boosted by a trialist defender, who will get the opportunity to show what he can do.
The Dark Blues have denied interest in 22-year-old Longford striker Dave Mooney. |
