Martin Boyle's Hibs season OVER as Lee Johnson reacts to 'big blow' for Easter Road side

Hibs have suffered a major blow with the news Martin Boyle will be OUT for the rest of the season.

The Easter Road attacker has underwent surgery on his knee after coming off injured against St Mirren in October. He was selected for the Australia World Cup squad and travelled to Qatar but further scans revealed a pre-existing rupture ACL which required the frontman to go under the knife. He's now in the recovery process after having an op.

Hibs boss Lee Johnson says it is up to the club to rally around the 29-year-old and offer all the support he needs throughout his recovery. He's described the news as 'a big blow' but the club will do all they can to make sure he returns fitter, stronger and a better player than he was before, just like team-mate Kevin Nisbet.
