- New Kingston blow for Hearts
Hearts have suffered a fresh injury blow with the news that midfielder Laryea Kingston will miss a further four weeks with a foot problem.
The Ghana international has not featured for the Edinburgh club since picking up the problem during last month's Africa Cup of Nations.
Kingston was reportedly close to a comeback after missing four SPL games, but will now be sidelined until early April at the earliest.
"It's proved to be quite a serious injury in the sense that, whilst there is no break to the bone, the bruising is very deep," caretaker manager Stephen Frail told the club's official website.
"Larry wore an air boot for the first few days of his treatment in order to give the foot time to begin the healing process and now he's beginning a planned rehabilitation programme with the physiotherapy department, starting this week with some jogging.
"It's obviously a blow that Larry's not been able to recover from the injury but it's so important that we get him properly fit.
"It's not ideal by any stretch of the imagination to be without Larry for the next four weeks, but it's really important that we have him back fully fit."
