Pressley on Murray injury, 'challenging' window & difficult derby

Dundee head coach Steven Pressley has been speaking to the media before Saturday's derby trip to play Dundee United . Here are the main lines: Following the "devastating" news captain Simon Murray is out long term with an ACL injury, Pressley says the striker has been "very positive" and is "already planning his comeback". On new loan striker Bobby Wales, Pressey says "there is a lot of potential in him" and highlights the good energy he will bring to the team. Dundee are "certainly trying" to further strengthen the squad and need another striker and two defenders. The Dens boss describes this transfer window as "challenging", admitting "we are thin on the ground" in terms of players – but says everyone at the club is working tirelessly to bring the right signings in. Pressey says that while the home record has been good since he came in, he admits his side need to be better on the road. He is expecting "a very difficult" game against a United team who are "doing a lot of good things". Pressley says a win at Tannadice would represent an "outstanding start" to the Premiership season for his side. Team News: Drey Wright is a doubt while Wales "comes into the mix".
