Dons News Round-up
Aberdeen have been chasing a left-back all summer, and by the Law of Sod it was always going to be the case that Byrne would be first injured this season.
Jimmy Calderwood told RedWeb: "Zander [Diamond], [Darren] Mackie and Byrne all picked up knocks this week.
"Zander and Mackie should be fit however Byrne will be out for about two weeks."
Calderwood has claimed this week that a player could be signed by the weekend to finally end the left-back chase.
He said: "I have been in the market for a left-back as cover for Richie for some time.
"A manager has changed his mind about letting a player go and hopefully a deal will be reached quite quickly."

Scott Severin did not appear to be fully fit in his captain's testimonial, and indeed limped off when substituted.
Calderwood added: "Severin is also struggling for this week, we will check on him [on Friday]."

The Dons opened the scoring in an entertaining game through Gary Dempsey.
James Beattie equalised for the Toffeemen before Jamie Smith restored Aberdeen's advantage.
But the guests levelled with a goal from Tim Cahill, who was hilariously booed by Dons fans mistaking him for former Ger Michel Arteta, and scored a late winner through Victor Anichebe.
Anderson said: "It was everything and more that I wanted from the evening. I was worried beforehand things would not work out, but they did, it was a great night and I really enjoyed it."
