Austrian Update...

Dundee arrived safely in Austria and got good training session's in on Friday. But torrential rain and thunder and lightning storms swept the Alps, Saturdays game against FC Hallwang was cancelled. With the downpoar the Dark Blues could not do the training they had planned. But the good news is on Monday they are back to their schedule. And now they will play in a glamour clash with top German outfit Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday. There will be plenty of opportunity now for the players to see action, and tomorrow’s clash with FC Augsburg means there will be two games in 24 hours before the squad fly home on Thursday to make ready for Aberdeen’s visit to Dens on Saturday. After his injury problems, defender Chris Casement will not be ready for either of the two midweek outings, but he has resumed full training and that’s a bonus. Goalkeeper Rab Douglas is feeling a calf and that’s restricting his work, but he is not causing concern.
