Martin Boyle progressing well after knee op

Hibs’ winger Martin Boyle says  he is progressing well after staying behind at the club’s Training Centre to continue his rehabilitation work.

The 22-year-old  underwent surgery to solve a damaged media ligament in his knee in the middle of May and rather than travelling over to the squad’s training camp in La Manga, he remained in sunny Scotland

to ensure he strengthened his knee properly.

Speaking  to hibernianfc.co.uk, Boyle said: “I’m progressing well and still on track – the surgeon gave me a 16-week window, although I don’t want to put a date on my return just yet.

“I’ve been working hard – firstly with the physios and now with the strength and conditioning coach – to strengthen my knee and I want to take my time to make sure when I do come back I’m ready to help the team.

“The weather back in East Lothian hasn’t been too bad – obviously not as hot as La Manga, but the main priority was to make sure I continued to recover properly and so far it has gone really well.”
