Motherwell striker hopes for speedy comeback after taking a knock in win

Motherwell striker Tony Watt hopes his injury isn't too serious after being taken off during his side's 3-1 win over Livingston today.

The experienced hit man was replaced 23 minutes into the clash at Fir Park with what looked like a hamstring or calf knock, and he was replaced by Chris Long, who scored his side's third goal, adding to Devante Cole's double.

Watt took to social media to say: "Great result today Motherwell.

"Hopefully nothing too serious on the injury front.

"Saturday spent icing."

Boss Graham Alexander wasn't surprised that the striker took a knock, and says he often receives heavy treatment on the pitch.

He said: "He took a knock on his side and took some painkillers, but he couldn't shake it off.

"Tony gets kicked from pillar to post.

"He puts his body on the line fantastically, but for him to come off it must be a sore one.

"Fingers crossed, because Tony's been brilliant for us since he came in."

Motherwell aren't in action again until March 20 when they travel to Kilmarnock, and will hope Watt is available again by then.
