SORE POINT: Jamie Langfield hobbles off the Aberdeen FC team bus on crutches after burning his right foot with hot water.

ABERDEEN FC keeper Jamie Langfield was today on the way home after being ruled out of their pre-season tour of England.

The 30-year-old spilled boiling water over his right foot during the bus journey south after the bus jerked while he was attempting to pour water from a small kettle while making himself a cup of coffee.

The injury is not thought to be serious, but Langield is returning to Aberdeen to recuperate and is expected to be sidelined for at least a fortnight.

Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee, who immediately ordered third choice keeper Scott Bain to head south and add back-up to summer signing Mark Howard during their tour, admitted it’s a blow to lose Langfield.
