Hearts standout Liam Boyce reportedly fears he suffered a season-ending injury during Hearts' 3-2 win over St Johnstone on Sunday.
The Northern Ireland international was stretchered off during the first half and there is genuine concern he suffered a cruciate ligament injury after a scan on his knee. Boyce was left writhing in agony and now the Jambos favourite could be sidelined for nine months, reports the Scottish Sun.
Robbie Neilson doesn't have his problems to seek with Kye Rowles facing significant period on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury during the topsy-turvy win over the Saints. And the Hearts boss has also been without Nathaniel Atkinson and Craig Halkett for recent games. Neilson admitted before the game against St Johnstone that he was looking for a "couple more" before the window closed. But the search for new recruits will be heightened before Thursday's deadline if Boyce is out for the season.
