Beni Baningime is edging closer towards a return as the Hearts star admits he's 'feeling good'.
Robbie Neilson has been without the key midfielder for an extended period with hard work going on behind the scenes to return to full fitness. An exact time frame has not been placed on the former Everton trainee but he says his gym work has allowed him to get stronger and he is getting better with each passing day. He said: “I’m feeling good, it’s getting better – slowly. I won’t have to run as much in rehab because I’ve been doing more gym work and getting stronger.”
Hearts have been rocked by a number of injuries in the first half of the campaign as they juggled domestic matters with Europa Conference League football. Key men such as Craig Halkett and Kye Rowles missed chunks of the campaign. The latter returned to fitness pre World Cup and starred for Australia as they reached the knockout stages before defeat to Lionel Messi and Argentina.
