Well' midfielder suffers hamstring tear
Motherwell midfielder Marc Fitzpatrick is facing up to another eight weeks on the sidelines after tearing his hamstring.
Fitzpatrick only returned to action a month ago after battling back to fitness following groin surgery.
However, he will now miss the bulk of the remainder of the campaign due to a fresh spell on the sidelines.
Fitzpatrick is down about the injury, but admits it is part and parcel of the game and is now focusing on getting fit once again.
Hamstring
"I have been told I'll miss between five and six weeks because of the injury," he told his club's
official website.
"I am gutted because it took me the best part of six months to get fit and less than four weeks back with the team, I am out again.
"But these things happen in football and I am just going to have to get on with it.
"Being injured and having to face the gym every other day is definitely demoralising but you've got to remain focused."
