Neilson confident for Pawlett despite injury
Peter Pawlett will be fit to face St Mirren, according to Dundee United manager Robbie Neilson.
Pawlett limped off the field after 73 minutes of Thursday’s goalless play-off final first leg, with a knee injury forcing his withdrawal.
However, Neilson is confident that he will be ready to start tomorrow’s return match.
Neilson said: “Peter has been hobbling at around that time in most games recently.
“He has had an issue with his knee for a few weeks now and he had been having injections so he can keep playing.
“He had one before (Thursday’s game), and with a bit of rest and another injection he will be OK for Sunday.”
United also hope to have midfielder Calum Butcher available after he missed the first leg because of a groin injury.
