Robbie Neilson has delivered a positive injury update on defender Kye Rowles.
The Hearts star suffered a broken foot against St Johnstone with his hopes of featuring for Australia at the World Cup looking slim after the unfortunate injury. However, the 24-year-old has had a pin inserted and should be back training within five weeks after the successful surgery.
The news will comes as a huge boost to the Jambos gaffer, Socceroos boss Graham Arnold and Rowles himself with the stopper playing a starring role in their play-off route to the finals. He had been an ever-present in the defence since his summer arrival making five appearances in the Premiership and two in Europa League qualifying before the injury.
