Aberdeen midfielder Willo Flood has been ruled out of action for six weeks with a hamstring injury.

The 28-year-old, who started his career at Manchester City, picked up the tear in the first half of his side's 3-1 defeat to Hearts at the weekend.

Following tests, Aberdeen have revealed that the midfielder has suffered a "small tear to his hamstring", which will keep him on the sidelines for six weeks.

Flood, who joined Aberdeen from Dundee United in the summer, has been plagued by hamstring trouble this season.
