    Liam Donnelly out until new year

    Liam Donnelly out until new year

    Liam Donnelly will be out until the start of 2021, manager Stephen Robinson has confirmed.

    The midfielder recently underwent an operation on a knee injury which will keep him out of action.

    Donnelly has made one appearance so far in 2020/21 in the Scottish Premiership opener at Ross County in early August.

    “Liam has had an operation,” said the Motherwell boss. “He was down seeing the specialist on Thursday.

    “It was a little bit worse than we feared, so we are looking at being into the new year before we see Liam back again.

    “We’ve been unfortunate with things that have gone against us. It was innocuous. Nobody was near Liam when the injury happened. It’s been a big blow.

    “He will be a big miss to us but Mark O’Hara is playing in that position at the moment and doing well. We’ve got some younger kids in Barry Maguire and Dean Cornelius who are doing very, very well at the moment. It’s just when you throw those. younger boys in.”

    The manager also provided an injury update on other first team players, with Nathan McGinley fit and available for selection after being sidelined since the Ross County game.

    “Jake Carroll and Charles Dunne are making progress but remain unavailable,” he said.

    “Scott Fox will have an operation next week on his knee. We’ve just had to wait for the swelling to go down.”

    Allan Campbell nets winner for Scotland Under 21s

    Allan Campbell nets winner for Scotland Under 21s

    Allan Campbell was the hero for Scotland as they defeated Lithuania in their European Under 21 Championship qualifier on Tuesday.

    The Motherwell man fired home from the edge of the area with a well-taken strike to net the only goal of the game with 10 minutes remaining.

    Fellow youth academy graduate David Turnbull started alongside Campbell in midfield, and he was replaced on the hour mark by another in James Scott.

    The win puts Scot Gemmill’s side four points off top side Czech Republic, having played a game less with four group matches to go.

    Paycare’s Bundle Wellbeing package for employers

    Paycare’s Bundle Wellbeing package for employers

    Our main sponsor Paycare have launched their Bundle Wellbeing package, which aims to help employers engage their teams and to keep them mentally, physically and financially healthy.

    For £2 per employee per month, it includes access to a support helpline, round-the-clock GP appointments, and an extensive discount scheme. It’s designed to give employees working for businesses who sign up the opportunity to access a holistic wellbeing service.

    Bundle includes three elements: the first is a round-the-clock telephone support with MyHelpline, which can be used to chat confidentially about a wide range of life events from stress management, debt or legal support and relationship breakdowns to signposting towards caring resources for elderly relatives.

    Members will also gain access to Paycare’s well-loved 24/7 online and telephone GP consultation service to help them receive quicker access to healthcare support. MyPocketGP aims to take the pressure off the NHS and ensure those using it can get a telephone call, video consultation or message a doctor at a time convenient to them – without having to physically visit their medical practice.

    The MyPocketGP app can be accessed worldwide, with all of the service’s doctors being experienced NHS GPs who can help any time, day or night. Either with a phone call or with the booking of a video consultation, follow up actions on the doctor’s advice can include a private prescription service with medication delivered to the patient’s door or even an open private specialist referral for further investigation of more complex conditions.

    The third part of Bundle is access to Paycare Perks – a Paycare exclusive online discount platform which offers a variety of everyday savings on health and fitness, shopping, leisure and entertainment products and services.

    “At Paycare we have a long and proud history of helping some of the region’s biggest and smallest employers to find the right way to support their teams,” Anthony Burns, Paycare’s commercial director, said.

    “Many companies implement plans to support their employees’ health through our range of Health Cash Plans, but this isn’t the only way that we can help.

    “Bundle, available for any business with two or more employees, is an affordable choice for employers who want to offer their teams some recognition for hard work, support for their mental, physical and financial health and as a reward that also proves great for business.

    “For us, it’s all about looking at the entire health and wellbeing of our members — not just their physical health but their mental, emotional and financial wellbeing too. That’s why our Bundle has been designed to help employees access support for all these integral parts of their overall health and happiness and offer key benefits that find a logical place within almost any wellbeing strategy.

    “Bundle mirrors the fantastic wellbeing services integral to many of Paycare’s Health Cash Plans, for a fraction of the cost at just £2 per employee. This was an idea conceived and trialled with over 300 members before we’d even heard the words Covid-19.

    “We know that support like the virtual GP consultations and telephone counselling have become ever more essential during this health crisis, and with ongoing changes to working patterns, priorities and demands for lots of businesses, we know health and wellbeing support will continue to be on the agenda for all.

    “Bundle is a great low-cost, high-value employee benefit, which supports wellbeing strategy, shows your team that you care while supporting their holistic health needs.”
