Peter Haring admits he can’t really remember suffering the “scary” concussion that’s kept him out of action for Hearts since mid-October.
The Austrian was thrown on as a second-half substitute by Robbie Neilson as the Jambos went down 2-0 to Aberdeen. A clash with Dons forward Marley Watkins, who appeared to catch Haring with an elbow, left the midfielder out cold on the Pittodrie turf. After lengthy treatment, he tried to walk off the pitch, but was clearly still disoriented and was eventually stretchered off.
He hasn’t played since, with Haring still feeling the effects of the injury several weeks later. Hearts were taking no risks and he was forced to watch the remainder of their Europa Conference League campaign from the sidelines. The lingering symptoms mean he has been unable to take to the pitch yet, but has returned to training and was with the Jambos o n their recent winter training camp in Spain.
