Andrew Driver's injury woes have struck again after the Hearts winger was ruled out for at least two weeks with a thigh strain.[LNB] The 22-year-old, who has only recently return from the tendonitis which has dogged him for virtually the whole campaign, lasted just 33 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 Scottish Premier League win over Kilmarnock.[LNB]Driver pulled up at Tynecastle shortly after Suso Santana's winning goal and was replaced by David Templeton.[LNB]The former England Under-21 international will now miss Sunday's trip to Rangers and the home match against Motherwell the following weekend.[LNB]Manager Jim Jefferies admitted it was difficult to put an exact timescale of Driver's recovery, telling Hearts News: "I think we are looking at around two weeks at the moment but whatever the timescale it's another disappointment for the lad whose had a few injuries this season."[LNB]Jefferies hopes to welcome captain Michael Stewart back from a calf injury this weekend, while defender Ismael Bouzid is also nearing a return after missing two months of action with a hamstring problem.[LNB]But striker Gary Glen is doubtful with a similar injury, while defender Jose Goncalves remains sidelined with a knee problem.
