MOTHERWELL plan to "work with Bournemouth" to decide the best way to treat loanee Mikael Ndjoli's knee injury.
The striker, who joined the Fir Park club last month on a deal until the end of the season, has played twice for the Scottish Premiership outfit, but is now set to miss out on tomorrow's Scottish Cup clash with St Mirren due to the knock.
"Unfortunately Mikael Ndjoli, whom we thought would get a little run in the side now, got injured in training," said Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson.
“He felt a lot better on Friday morning which is positive but we will get a scan. We’ll work with Bournemouth on that one."
Ndjoli, 21, scored three goals in 18 appearances during a loan spell at Gillingham in the first half of this season.
Also in Scotland, fellow Cherries loanee Matt Butcher made his first start for St Johnstone in their 1-1 draw at Ross County.
Midfielder Butcher completed 72 minutes of the fixture and watched on as his side conceded to a 90th-minute Billy McKay strike, cancelling out Stevie May's opener.
