Hamilton manager Martin Canning says that Christian Nade should be available for Sunday's game against Aberdeen despite his sister being caught up in the terrorist atrocities in Paris.
Nade's sibling Franzette was in a Paris restaurant when terrorists attacked the establishment next door. Thankfully she wasn't injured, but Canning says that he will leave the decision over whether to play in the match up to the striker himself.
“He seems fine," Canning said.
"He played 60 minutes for the under-20s the other night and he did really well, he worked hard and he’s trained really well too.
“He’s a mentally strong guy so I think he’ll be fine, but it’s up to him. We’ll have a wee chat before the weekend and discuss it, but his attitude has been great and his application has been good, so I think he’s ok.
“From what I’ve seen so far and from what he’s been saying there doesn’t seem to be an issue, he seems to have dealt with it well, but obviously I’ll speak to him again before the weekend and see how he is mentally.
“Everybody is an individual and deals with things in their own way, but I’ll speak to him and see how he is before the game.”
