Alan Stubbs has revealled that striker Jason Cummings (pictured) underwent a scan on his knee on Monday and the results have shown he hasn’t suffered any serious damage.
The teenager missed Sunday’s match against Rangers at Easter Road after hurting his knee during the previous weekend’s win at Cowdenbeath and was then subsequently withdrawn from the Scotland under-21 squad set to face Hungary in Budapest on Thursday.
Speaking to Hibs TV, Stubbs said: “We spoke to Jason before the Rangers game and he didn’t feel comfortable or 100% right with his knee.
“Our physios had checked him and they were happy that his knee was stable.
“He met up with the Scotland under-21 squad on Sunday night and the medical team there assessed him and came to the same conclusion that our medical team had.
“So it was decided that Jason would stay behind and we sent him for a scan on Monday.
“The results came back and they’ve been very positive. Hopefully that will help Jason psychologically as well because in the past he injured his cruciate which had left him concerned.
“Hopefully in the next day or two his knee will continue to settle down and allow him to progress into training with the squad again.”
