Lee Johnson is sweating on the fitness of Kevin Nisbet as he admits he won’t stop the striker making his switch to English football in the summer.
The Hibs boss was pleased to keep the striker who U-turned on a £2.4million move to Millwall last week and was also subject of a bid from Wigan at the last minute with former boss Shaun Maloney trying to pinch the attacker.
But when the window reopens in the summer he fully expects there to be rekindled interest and Johnson won’t stop the Scotland squad man realising his dream. But before then he just wants to get the best out of Nisbet as he waits to discover the extent of a hamstring injury that could mean two weeks out – or two months.
