D'Jaffo - picked up leg knock
Aberdeen left for Norway yesterday without the presence of 5 players who are likely to form an important part of Ebbe Skovdahl's plans for the coming season.

New signing Laurent D'Jaffo has picked up a leg knock, and joins Ben Thornley, Roberto Bisconti, and Ryan Esson, who have thigh strains in remaining at home for treatment.

Also staying at home is Jamie McAllister who jarred his back after falling akwardly, after being on the receiving end of a poorly timed challenge, in Saturday's 4-4 draw with Brechin City at Glebe Park.


Ebbe Skovdahl has added Stephen Payne, Mark Peat and Scott Michie to the squad who travelled to Norway yesterday for tonights game with Brann Bergen
