Beni Baningime believes he can follow Liam Boyce ’s example and come back from a ruptured cruciate six months after getting injured.
The Hearts midfielder has been sidelined since his season ended during a 2-0 victory over Livingston in March. The initial prognosis was a nine month absence, and that’s what the Tynecastle club’s medical staff are working on.
But players being the way they are, the desperation to get back playing makes it difficult to manage expectations and keep their own timelines in check. Baningime readily admits he’s been a nightmare in that regard, with the physios having to hold him back and make sure he doesn’t push himself too hard.
