Martin Boyle admits he is optimistic about a swift return from injury after he revealed an ACL issue may have troubled him for a long time.
The Australian star was devastated to learn his World Cup dream was over after racing to get back to fitness for the Qatar tournament following a knock while playing for Hibs against Ross County. The winger went down in October and found out the extent of the injury in recent weeks, with the rest of the reason likely to be ruled out.
It came as a huge blow to Lee Johnson's side as the Aussie attacker had marked his return to Edinburgh with key goals and assists before the knock. But Boyle is taking the side of optimism in Leith as he revealed the concern over his meniscus might have affected him for over seven years in the past.
