Former Bristol City manager Lee Johnson is recovering after undergoing emergency Gallbladder removal surgery which will cause him to miss Hibernian’s game against Kilmarnock this weekend.
Scottish Premiership club Hibs have confirmed that Johnson, who served as City boss from 2016-2020, was taken ill this week and underwent the procedure at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary but is not well enough to take charge of the team on Saturday.
Gallbladder removal is a relatively straightforward procedure which is conducted to remove gallstones. It takes around two weeks for patients to recover and return to work.
