Aiden McGeady could be out until October after an update emerged on the new Hibs signing's latest injury setback.
Experienced winger McGeady signed up under his former Sunderland boss Lee Johnson after leaving the Black Cats in the summer and was a regular in their ill-fated Premier Sports Cup campaign. But he went off after just 20 minutes of their friendly with Norwich City during the week, sparking fears he could be out for a prolonged spell.
Johnson is already without five players for the Premiership opener with Kevin Nisbet out for the long-term while Paul Hanlon, Demi Mitchell, Lewis Stevenson, and Jake Doyle-Hayes will all miss the clash with St Johnstone. And now the Edinburgh Evening News report McGeady has added his name to that list after aggravating the medial ligament issue that kept him out for more than six months before he joined Hibs in the summer.
