Gerald Taylor will be missing for some time with a knee injury after making eight appearances for Hearts since arriving on loan during the summer.

Interim boss Liam Fox awaits confirmation of the injury after scans on the 23-year-old.

Fox told a media briefing that it was disappointing news for the player and the club and added: “He’s got a real issue with his knee. We don’t know the exact timescale but it will be a long period of time.”

The boss stressed that the Costa Rica international will get all the support he needs in his recovery.
