Goodwin leaves hospital but still absent from United

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has been released from hospital following a health scare, though the timeline for his return to his duties remains uncertain. The 44-year-old missed United's 4-0 Scottish Premiership victory over Kilmarnock on Saturday after falling ill and being admitted to the hospital on Thursday. Assistant manager Lee Sharp took charge of the team during the match and will continue to lead them during their midweek game against Motherwell, despite Goodwin's ongoing absence.

Sharp informed that Goodwin is now at home recuperating and is awaiting medical guidance on his next steps. When asked about a potential return date, Sharp stated that Goodwin would be back immediately if not for the doctors' restrictions, and they are maintaining regular communication for an update. United continues to operate normally in Goodwin's absence, with the club progressing towards securing a loan deal for former Dundee midfielder Lyall Cameron from Rangers.
