Hutchinson desperate to be given Champions League opportunity with Motherwell

Shaun Hutchinson is hoping he can be included in Motherwell's line-up for this month's Champions League third round qualifier.

The 21-year old defender is likely to return from a groin injury which hampered him last season when the Well meet Hamilton in a friendly tonight and he is keen to get through that before taking on Greek club Panathinaikos in their qualifying first leg at Fir Park on July 31.

"I've had a couple of sleepless nights thinking I might miss the opportunity," he told the Daily Record recently.

"If I missed the Champions League games I would be devastated."
