Hibs injury blow as Campbell ruled out for at least three months with ankle fracture

Hibs midfielder Josh Campbell has been ruled out for at least three months. 

After colliding with team-mate Dylan Levitt at Easter Road, the 23-year-old was stretchered off in the Edinburgh derby against Hibs.

Campbell suffered a small fracture in his ankle as a result of the accidental collision.

And scans have confirmed Campbell will be sidelined for a minimum of 12 weeks.

Thankfully, however, the midfielder will not require surgery on the injury.

A club statement confirmed: "Hibernian FC can confirm that Josh Campbell will be out for a significant period of time with an ankle injury.

"Josh was stretchered off in the Edinburgh Derby after colliding with Dylan Levitt in the second-half on Wednesday 27 December, 2023.

"Scan results have revealed a small fracture in Josh’s ankle which means he will be out for a minimum of 12 weeks.

"Thankfully, the 23-year-old will not need surgery and will now be closely monitored by the Hibernian FC medical department throughout his rehabilitation and recovery process.

"Everyone at Hibernian FC wishes Josh all the best with his recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch as soon as possible."
