Motherwell's Premiership clash with Aberdeen will go ahead after the Lanarkshire club's flu crisis levelled off.

Well boss Mark McGhee revealed on Thursday that they might have to submit a request to the Scottish Professional Football League to postpone the game if more players were struck down by a bug.

But the club will be able to field a team against the title challengers.

Motherwell wrote on their official Twitter account: "Although some are still ill, majority of the squad (who aren't 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 vs the Dons is good to go.''
