Aberdeen FC midfielder Stuart Armstrong has opened up about the team’s cup ambitions, his recent surgery, and the emergence of wonderkid Andrew Fasanya. The Dons finished 8th in the Premiership last season with 33 points, 37 behind leaders Heart of Midlothian, but are now focused on silverware after a strong start in the Scottish Cup.
What did Armstrong say about the cup run?
Armstrong praised the team’s resilience in the cup, calling it a chance to 'make amends' after a tough league campaign. 'We’ve got a young squad with a lot of potential,' he said, highlighting the importance of cup football for development. The Dons have scored 33 goals in all competitions this season but conceded 48, a defensive record Armstrong hopes to improve.
How is Armstrong recovering from surgery?
The 32-year-old underwent a minor procedure earlier this month but is already back in light training. 'I’m feeling good,' he said. 'The medical staff have been brilliant, and I’m ahead of schedule.' Armstrong’s experience will be key as Aberdeen look to build on their recent form (LLWDW).
Who is Andrew Fasanya?
Fasanya, 19, has been a standout performer in the cup, earning praise from Armstrong. 'He’s got everything-pace, skill, and a great attitude,' said the veteran midfielder. The youngster’s rise is a bright spot for a team aiming to climb the table next season.
Aberdeen’s recent form (LLWDW) suggests they’re heading in the right direction, but Armstrong knows consistency will be key. 'We’ve got the talent,' he said. 'Now we need to show it week in, week out.'
