Hibs injury concerns arise from positive Norwich City friendly as key men join growing injury list

Hibs saw key players fall to injury as they prevailed 1-0 against English Championship side Norwich City in a friendly match ahead of the new season.

Influential wing-back Chris Cadden missed out with a knock, while new signing Aiden McGeady went down with an injury early doors in the first half. Elias Melkersen put them ahead just before half-time. Eight changes were made for the following 45 minutes with next week's Premiership opener in mind, as goalkeeper David Marshall also missed this one through sickness.

Paul Hanlon and Demetri Mitchell have returned to non-contact training and alongside them, Kyle Magennis, Jake Doyle-Hayes, Lewis Stevenson and Kevin Nisbet are all still injured. Hibs are still waiting for work permit approval for Elie Youan and Marijan Cabraja and they have been unable to take part in any of their Premier Sports Cup matches this month or this friendly encounter against chief executive Ben Kensell's former club.
