Hibs boss Lee Johnson has revealed Martin Boyle is currently in Manchester seeing a specialist over the injury which could threaten his World Cup dreams.
The Australia international limped off after suffering a problem with his knee during a 3-0 Scottish Premiership win over St Mirren on Saturday and is facing a sweat to be fit to be included in the Socceroos squad for the Qatar showpiece event which kicks-off in under three weeks time.
Johnson reckons there's a chance the 29-year-old will recover in time but also insists that expert opinion is required to get to the bottom of the wingers troubles. He said: "He's had a scan and he's currently in Manchester getting that scan reviewed by a specialist and a consultant. I would hope that by this time on Thursday we will have a clear and acute diagnosis and prognosis on the injury."
