Hibs are facing a defensive injury crisis with the news Rocky Bushiri has been ruled out for approximately three months.
The towering defender, who seemed to be forming a functional partnership with want-away star Ryan Porteous, is now facing the rest of the season on the sidelines but has avoided a broken leg. The defender was stretchered off during Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Cup after a collision and scans have revealed an ankle injury will keep him out.
With Scotland cap Porteous close to sealing a move to Watford, it leaves boss Lee Johnson with limited options at centre-half amid a crucial point in the season. The Englishman admitted he had seen an improvement in Rocky while the player revealed his determination to come back as soon as possible for Hibs.
