Harry McKirdy will be OUT for up to six months as Lee Johnson expressed his 'real shock'.
The striker reported back for pre-season with all his Hibs team-mates and underwent the usual scans and testing to ensure he was fit and healthy for the campaign ahead. However, the scans revealed an issue and after further investigation and seeing a specialist, it has been confirmed he will need surgery to rectify his problem.
McKirdy - who had been linked with a loan move away from Easter Road with Leyton Orient one of the clubs reportedly keen - will now spend a significant period out on the sidelines in a real shock to both the club and player.
