HIBERNIAN have been dealt a major injury blow with Aiden McGeady set to miss at least the first six weeks of the season.
The winger has picked up a medial ligament injury on his knee and he could be ruled out for up to two months.
“It’s a disappointing one,” Hibs boss Lee Johnson said. “He’s going to be out for a sustained period of time after aggravating his previous medial ligament injury.
“It’s hard to put a timescale on it but it’s going to be minimum six weeks, although it probably averages about 10 weeks.
“I’m disappointed for Aiden first and foremost. He’s worked extremely hard to get back to a level of fitness that is capable of performing at Premiership level and unfortunately this has happened.
“It’s not ideal but it’s why you have a squad. Somebody else has got to fill that void on a leadership level and a performance level. We just do our best to recover him as quickly as possible.”
