HEARTS boss Robbie Neilson insists Beni Baningime could be ahead of schedule in his comeback bid - even though he will not play again until next year.
The former Everton youngster has been sidelined since March after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a 2-0 win against Livingston.
The 24-year-old made a huge impression following his arrival at Tynecastle in July last year and his energy and passing ability has been missed during the Jambos’ injury-affected struggles so far this term.
