Lima looking at a short spell out
Falkirk's Vitor Lima could return against Motherwell on April 3 after scans showed his knee injury was far less severe than first feared.[LNB] Lima was carried off in the 2-2 draw against Hamilton on Saturday and will miss this weekend's Scottish Premier League clash against Hibernian.[LNB]But the 28-year-old will not miss much of Falkirk's relegation battle.[LNB]"There is a possibility he might make next Saturday," manager Steven Pressley said. "He is not available this weekend but if he continues to progress, probably next Saturday.[LNB]"I'm delighted because I have said he has been one of our best performers this season.[LNB]"You know what you are getting every week with Vitor Lima and I'm delighted the news came back very positive on the scan."[LNB]Falkirk followed up their draw with Hamilton by coming from behind to claim a point again at St Johnstone on Tuesday and Pressley is optimistic his team can go one better against Hibs.[LNB]"I talk a lot about the mentality and I see an improvement in the mentality," Pressley said. "We went behind at Hamilton, a difficult place and bounced back. We had that mentality on Tuesday night where I just could not see us losing the game, I really couldn't, and we seem to be developing all the time.[LNB]"We just need to go that step further and win games and I believe we're really close to that.[LNB]"I see us not going under when the going gets tough, I see a real mental strength building up in the club."
