Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin is hopeful that Louis Moult's shoulder injury is not serious after the striker sustained the knock during their 4-3 defeat to Motherwell.
Jim Goodwin has confirmed that Dundee United are sweating on the scan results of Louis Moult’s shoulder injury. The experienced striker netted in the weekend defeat to Motherwell but left Fir Park with his arm in a sling. The Englishman now looks to be a major doubt for the visit of champions Celtic to Tannadice on Sunday. United boss Goodwin said: “He's hurt his shoulder in the game unfortunately on Saturday, so he is a concern.
“It’s obviously a bit more of a precautionary measure after the game (with the sling) but his shoulder has definitely given him a bit of bother. So he'll get a scan on that in the early part of the week and we'll see how that transpires. We won’t know the extent of things until we get those results.” The 32-year-old has netted four league goals already this term and it would be a blow if he was sidelined again. Moult has recently just come back from a leg fracture. Goodwin added: “Obviously, Moulty is a great finisher and both himself and Sam have played really well together in the last couple of games. “He's already had a lengthy spell out with the fracture in his leg so the last thing Moulty needs now is another stint on the sidelines. “Hopefully we can get him back and nothing too serious comes about.” Defender Will Ferry will also come back into the United fold for the Celtic game after missing the Motherwell match because of suspension. United’s 4-3 defeat in Lanarkshire saw them slip down to fifth in the table. Goodwin was disappointed with the uncharacteristic manner that his team conceded their goals but also believed his team showed a lot of good signs going the other way. He said: “I am disappointed with the result but the actual performance, taking out some of the goals that we conceded. The actual overall performance on the day was quite good. “I am just disappointed because we scored three goals and if you do that in a game then you should be taking at least a poin
