Kyle Magennis looks set to undergo surgery in the near future in a blow to Hibs.
The Easter Road side are set to welcome capital rivals Hearts to Leith tomorrow lunchtime in a huge derby showdown. Both sides are in a horror run of form with the match offering both sides a chance to recapture the feel good factor and bragging rights. Hearts have dropped to fourth and sacked Robbie Neilson on the back of a poor run of form with the Hibees needing big results to ensure a top six finish.
Just two games remain ahead of the league split with Hibs wanting to make sure they are in the top half and then start battling for European football in the final run-in. Victory over Hearts would keep their top six hopes in their own hands and could even assure them of a top end finish depending on results elsewhere.
