Aberdeen handed major Brad Lyons injury boost as semi-final clash looms

Aberdeen received positive news regarding midfielder Brad Lyons after precautionary scans on his knee showed favorable results. The 29-year-old Northern Ireland international was substituted at half-time during Aberdeen's 3-1 victory against St Mirren, despite scoring his first Premiership goal for the club earlier in the match. His withdrawal raised injury concerns, but Lyons indicated that his substitution was primarily a precaution.

Lyons expressed optimism about being available for Aberdeen's upcoming fixture against Dundee United. Aberdeen faces a congested schedule that features a midweek meeting with Falkirk alongside an upcoming Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Rangers. Lyons praised manager Stephen Robinson's squad depth, noting that the team responded well to half-time adjustments to secure three important league points.
