For Saturday's third-place shootout against Hearts at Tynecastle, Aberdeen talisman Luis 'Duk' Lopes will have until the very last minute to demonstrate his readiness.

The 18-goal scorer left the goalless draw against Hibernian last weekend due to a muscular ailment.

When Robson spoke to the media on Wednesday, he didn't reveal anything about Duk's weekend availability.

He stated, "We haven't got anyone for sure out." "We'll see how we proceed with that. I want to give every player the opportunity to return for the weekend.


We're taking it one minute at a time, 24 hours at a time. Hearts will no doubt have players who are just like that. Players with minor niggles or niggles will be present on all teams.

"Duk and I will sit down on Friday to discuss our current situation. We'll see where we stand with that, but we must try our hardest to make sure that everyone is healthy and available.

Ross McCrorie, who has missed the last two games due to injury, is healing well, according to Robson.

When asked if he planned to play again this year, he replied, "100%." "I can't wait for him to come back. He is close by.


He gave it his all on the practice field there today. He'll return as soon as possible. Although we haven't decided yet, he is ahead of schedule given how he is progressing.

If Aberdeen wins at Tynecastle on Saturday, they can almost certainly lock up third place in the Premier League and likely qualify for the European group stage the following season. With three games left, the Dons lead the Jambos by five points and Hibernian by six.

The Aberdeen manager remarked, "We realize it's another huge game. "When you play for a team like Aberdeen, every game is important. We are here for that reason. We like it.


Being under pressure encourages you to play. They are under pressure, and so are we. Simply leave and take in the game.Would I rather play Hearts than be in our position? Yes. They have some great players, and they'll have their supporters behind them, so we need to go down there and play well if we want to win.
