Aberdeen pair Zander Diamond and Sone Aluko picked up injuries as the Dons warmed up for their Europa League opener with a 1-1 draw at Dundee.

Skipper Diamond and goalscorer Aluko were both taken off with knocks in a poor second half but Aberdeen are hopeful both will be available for the third qualifying-round visit of Sigma Olomouc on Thursday.

Aluko cut inside and curled home less than 15 seconds into the game but Eric Paton placed a free-kick past Jamie Langfield midway through the first half.

Dundee goalkeeper Rab Douglas saved Lee Miller's penalty just before the break and the second half was a disjointed affair amid a number of substitutions.
