Aberdeen have been rocked by the news that youngster Fraser Fyvie will miss the entire season through injury.[LNB] The 17-year-old is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering cruciate ligament damage in Tuesday's 3-0 Co-operative Insurance Cup win over Alloa.[LNB]The youngster caught his studs in the Recreation Ground's artificial surface, much to the annoyance of manager Mark McGhee.[LNB]Fyvie, regarded as one of Scotland's brightest talents, will require surgery and McGhee insists he will be given all the time he needs to return to action at 100 per cent.[LNB]"It is a massive blow for Fraser and the club," McGhee told the Press and Journal.[LNB]"We will be doing everything we possibly can to ensure Fraser is given the appropriate time and care to make a full recovery.[LNB]"He will be under no pressure whatsoever in terms of his rehabilitation to make an early return.[LNB]"In light of his age, it's more important Fraser only returns to play when he has fully recovered."[LNB]Meanwhile, McGhee has confirmed that the club's chances of landing Udinese's Nikola Vujadinovic are dead in the water.[LNB]McGhee was hopeful of landing the Serbian-born Montenegrin defender, but says the possible deal on the table is no longer valid.[LNB]"Vujadinovic is a non-starter," he continued. "I like the player, but the deal that was supposed to be on the table is not there any more.[LNB]"He is on big wages at Udinese, but we were told there were conditions we could have him, but it turned out to be something of a bum steer.[LNB]"He trained with us and looked like a good player, but it is not going any further."
