Moritz set to return

Andre Moritz is available for selection ahead of this weekend’s clash with Sheffield Wednesday.

The midfielder has been sidelined for a month after suffering a slight tear in his groin against Leeds United, but the 27-year-old is in contention to feature against the Owls this Saturday.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, manager Dougie Freedman admitted that the Brazilian's return will add another dimension to his side’s play as they go in search of a first home victory of the season.

“He’s trained for the last ten games and will be in the squad for the weekend’s game,” the Scot explained. “He’s raring to go – he’s someone we’ve missed at home, especially when we’ve needed somebody who can open the door up."

He added: “When we played against Yeovil, it was pretty much one way traffic for long periods of the game and we just needed that bit of quality that he’s got.

“He’s been missed and could feature at some stage during the game.”

I think Moritz could be a surprise package providing he is match fit.

I think it's 50/50 tbh.

I hope he makes a difference when/if he comes on

I absolutely guarantee you he will play no part on Saturday.

It'll be the same old "not match fit" bollocks.

So a perfectly valid reason for him not to play.

Indeed, but why build him up when he has no chance of playing?

I doubt he'll play too unless he is doing amazing things in training. Before he was injured I got the feeling that he wasn't quite up to speed, but sometimes players find the missing ingredient after a layoff, so I'd say he has an outside chance. Depends on how the game is going. Wouldn't expect him to start though.
