Chris Cadden faces a significant period out after surgery on his Achilles.

The Hibs star was stretchered off during in the final stages of the Edinburgh derby draw with Hearts on the final day of the season as the Hibees missed out on fourth spot and now require a Celtic Scottish Cup Final win to land a crack at European football.

Boss Lee Johnson told the Hibs website : “Firstly, I would like to wish Cadds and Jake a speedy recovery.

“Everyone is devastated for Cadds and I know he will be going through a difficult time, but as staff and players, we have to rally around him and give him as much support as possible.

"We have a first-class medical department at the Club that will help him through his recovery and ensure he comes back fitter and stronger.

“With Jake, this type of injury was the best-case scenario. Unfortunately, it looks like he will miss the start of pre-season, but we know how determined he is to return as quickly as possible, so he can have a big impact for us next season.”
