Hopefully alright, need to wait for Aberdeen to say something ..... although Aberdeen having just got to a cup final we might have to wait..
St Johnstone play Celtic tomorrow in the other semi.
Fingers crossed it was just cramp and Alf has the fantastic experience of a cup final in front of a massive crowd.
Final is on Saturday 24 May.
Alfie's in need of as much football as he can get after being injured pretty much until going on loan to Aberdeen where he's made 5 starts in SPL plus as many sub appearances for 600 mins and another 200 mins in Scottish FA Cup.
Aberdeen still have another 5 SPL fixtures plus the cup final, so providing he's not injured he could still almost double his playing time for the season ! Next SPL match next Saturday so if its just cramp should be no problem, cup final will probably be his last game at Aberdeen.

No Devine in Westerlo's squad last night to face Standard Liege - no news so assume an injury ?
Vuskovic played only 7 minutes : assume it was squad rotation half way through play offs.. Ended in a 1-1 draw, their 3rd draw in play offs I think. 5 points behind the leaders in their play offs so I think its all but out of their reach.

Can't say I fully understand how the Belgian league works, but Westerlo are in a group of 6 playing for one (?) European slot.
They played 30 games in the normal season and had to play 10 more games in the play off league.
They have played 4 and so have 6 more games to go .

Agree but 5 points behind leaders (who take the only one Conference League place available) with 6 games to play with 3 other clubs slightly above Westerlo, so Westerlo will need to get a run of better results to over come their 5 point deficit. But 18 points to play for in remaining 6 games
Certainly not over yet, but odds will not be in their favour atm !
I think the issue is, if Westerlo think they won't qualify, what is the point in giving game time to Alf and Luka?
(1) They are on payroll so might as well play them (2) They want to have other top youngsters from Spurs over next few years - we have players they can only dream of getting.
Loaning in players helps them get established in Belgium league, without being able to get Vuskovic and Devine this season they would not be where they are today, but probably in relegation playoffs
