Hearts get an injury boost

03 December 2010 15:30
Hearts are set for a triple boost as they seek to consolidate their third-placed position in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, with Lee Wallace, Andrew Driver and David Obua nearing returns from injury. Hearts' bid to add to four successive victories has been scuppered by the weather, with snow and ice causing the postponement of last Sunday's match at Motherwell and this weekend's clash at Rangers. But manager Jim Jefferies expects Wallace, who injured his knee playing for Scotland in September, Driver (thigh) and Obua (groin), who have also both been out for some time, to return in the coming weeks. Jefferies told Hearts News: "The injured players are coming on fine. It will be like signing three new players when they do come back."
