David Gray says that Hibs will likely be without Elie Youan and Chris Cadden for the game against Kelty Hearts tomorrow their third Premier Sports Cup group game
Both picked up slight injuries in the club’s opening fixtures.
But Harry McKirdy could return for the game.
Gray told Hibs TV: “It’s a bit disappointing with Cadds, he has been for a scan and has a little niggle in there – so that will be another week or so. At this stage of the season, we’re not going to take any risks.
“Elie is in a similar situation. We all saw the collision that he went into at the end of the Queen’s Park game. We need to assess that one further and not take any risks.”
The good news is that Harry McKirdy could return this weekend.
“On a positive note, Harry McKirdy has trained the last couple of days and is looking really good.
“We’ve managed him through the last 10 days or so, just to manage his load. He’s been really bright and positive so he comes into the squad which is positive.”
