Pressley confident in squad despite injury adversity
Steven Pressley admits Dundee's current injury problems represent "one of the most challenging periods" in his career as a head coach. Pressley doesn't have his troubles to seek going into Saturday's Premiership visit of Motherwell. Simon Murray and Finlay Robertson are out for the season, while Ashley Hay, Charlie Reilly and new signing Joe Wright are also sidelined.
Dundee head coach Steven Pressley expresses confidence in his squad despite recent injury setbacks. The challenges Pressley faces are among the most difficult he has encountered during his time as a head coach. Simon Murray, Finlay Robertson, Ashley Hay, Charlie Reilly, Joe Wright, Joe Westley, and Ryan Finnigan are all currently sidelined.
Pressley attributes the team's injury woes to a combination of bad luck and contact injuries. However, he remains firmly committed to his players, stating they respond well to adversity and challenging moments. Dundee currently sit sixth in the league table after securing seven points from their first six league games. Motherwell, who recently suffered a 4-0 defeat to Aberdeen, are one point ahead of Dundee.
Pressley emphasizes the significance of the upcoming match between the two sides, particularly given the obstacles both teams are dealing with. If Dundee can walk away with 10 points before the international break, it would be a strong start. Nonetheless, Motherwell will undoubtedly be looking to capitalize on Dundee's current predicament, making the game particularly challenging for both teams.
