Lee Johnson has his fingers crossed that a scan for Hibs winger Martin Boyle comes back with good news.
The 28-year-old hobbled off during Saturday's 3-0 win over St Mirren - in which he scored the Premiership clash's opening goal - and has gone to England for scans on his leg. He is a shoe-in to be picked for Graham Arnold's Australia squad for Qatar 2022, which kicks off later this month, and will be desperate to prove his fitness ahead of the World Cup.
Johnson says that the early signs for Boyle have been optimistic ahead of Hibs' Friday night's match against Aberdeen but there had been no confirmed news or timeline as of yet. But with a specialist called in after Boyle's initial scan, the Hibs boss said: "We are just positive with him, we all live in hope that he’s in a good place.
