Double blow for Jambos
21 Sep 2006 - 13:00:33
Hearts' 4-0 CIS Cup victory at Alloa on Wednesday came at a high price as Hristos Karipidis and Mirsad Beslija joined the club's injury list.
Greek defender Karipidis left the action shortly before half-time after twisting his knee, while Bosnian midfielder Beslija was replaced at the break after suffering a suspected dislocated jaw.
A Jambos spokesman told the Edinburgh Evening News: "Mirsad and Hristos will be looked at on Thursday to see the extent of the injuries.
"We don't think Mirsad's jaw is broken but it is certainly painful, and Hristos' knee injury will be looked at by the doctor."
Hearts were already missing strike duo Edgaras Jankauskas and Michal Pospisil.
