Motherwell's Premiership match with Aberdeen will go ahead as planned, despite Mark McGhee's preparations having been compromised by a flu virus.

The Steelmen had hinted at the possibility of asking for a postponement after only six players were able to take part in training on Thursday, due to a combination of illness and injury across the club. The U20 match against Celtic on Tuesday was postponed because of the issue.

A club statement issued on Friday read: "Although some are still ill, majority of the squad who are not injured are in to train this morning ahead of Saturday's match with the Dons.

"On that basis, the club have informed the SPFL there will be no requests made and tomorrow's game against the Dons is good to go."
