Hibs have confirmed that Kevin Dabrowski will be missing for 'at least' a couple of months after picking up a shoulder injury.
The goalkeeper has injured shoulder ligaments during a training ground clash ahead of their Premiership match with St Mirren this weekend. It's a blow for the stopper who has acted as deputy to veteran number one David Marshall so far this term, as he faces a race against time to be fit again before November's break for the World Cup.
A statement on Dabrowski from Hibs reads: "Unfortunately Kevin Dabrowski has been ruled out for a substantial period of time through injury. The 24-year-old damaged the ligaments in his shoulder after a collision in training.
"Subsequent scans have revealed that he will be unavailable for selection for, at least, a couple of months. Kevin will now work closely with the Club’s medical department to ensure he returns back to fitness as quickly as possible."
