Aberdeen suffer major double blow as Stephen Robinson confirms injury lay-offs

Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson confirmed that defender Mats Knoester and left-back Emmanuel Gyamfi will be sidelined for at least 10 weeks. Knoester sustained a tendon injury during training, while Gyamfi suffered a recurring thigh injury during the recent Premier Sports Cup semi-final loss to Rangers. Robinson expressed frustration over the setbacks as both players were just returning to form.

In addition to the long-term absences, forward Ayoub Mouloua will miss Saturday's Scottish Premiership match against Hibernian due to illness. However, Robinson reported positive news regarding Brad Lyons, Dan Happe, and Toyosi Olusanya, who are all set to be available. Aberdeen enters the crucial fixture sitting 10th in the table after three straight losses across all competitions.
