Hibernian have announced that Easter Road hero Franck Sauzee has had to withdraw from a charity match set to take place next month.
Sauzee, who was at the Leith club between 1999 and 2001, was set to put on his boots once again 21 years after retiring from football. However that will no longer happen with Hibs stating the 56-year-old is suffering from a health problem which has left him gutted to miss the game organised by the Hanlon Stevenson Foundation.
But it has been confirmed the event dubbed "Le Match" will still go ahead on Sunday November 20 as a Sauzee select XI takes on a Hanlon Stevenson Foundation (HSF) side. Sauzee has insisted that it is impossible for him to feature although he made a promise that he will be back in Edinburgh to support Lee Johnson's men in the near future. He said: “I would like to thank all of the Hibees for the warm welcome I received at the Motherwell match. It was great to be back at Easter Road.
