Leven on keeper injury, new arrivals & barren run

[ASFN Admin]

Interim Aberdeen manager Peter Leven has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premiership visit of Livingston.

Here are the key points:

• The club are looking to sign another goalkeeper after understudy Nick Suman was ruled out for an "extended period" with an ankle injury.
• Leven says the Dons' two new loan signings this week - defender Liam Morrison and striker Toyosi Olusanya - are "good additions" who will bring "a bit of freshness" and their arrival can "push other players".
• On the departure of Sweden winger Jesper Karlsson: "We wish him all the best."
• Having ended a seven-game winless run by knocking Raith Rovers out of the Scottish Cup, Leven insists "we need to back up last week's win" by seeing off bottom club Livingston.
• The Dons haven't scored in four league games and the interim boss says all his players have to "contribute" on the goals front.
• Livi are without a victory in 22 matches but Leven believes they have been "unlucky in a lot of games". He is expecting a tough game but says "it is all about what we do, what we can bring".
• Team news: Defender Emmanuel Gyamfi is a doubt with "a ******", but Mats Knoester is back after missing the last game through illness.
