Robbie Neilson admits Beni Baningime could play for Hearts before the end of the season as he gave a fitness update on him, Liam Boyce and Peter Haring.
Midfielder Baningime has been out since last March with a knee ligament injury suffered in a 2-0 win over Livingston at Tynecastle. Boyce suffered a similar fate after going down in August’s victory over St Johnstone, while Haring hasn't featured since suffering a severe concussion against Aberdeen back in October, the after effects he’s been feeling for some time.
But the Austrian is now back in training and Neilson is hopeful he’ll be back in action early next month. Boyce and Baningime will be a bit longer, but both have resumed running and are expected to return around the same time, which could be before the end of the season after the rehab process for Baningime accelerated in recent weeks. Hearts previously believed he wouldn't be back until after the summer.
