Hearts suffer double injury blow
Hearts wingers Andrew Driver and Neil McCann may not feature for the Tynecastle club again this season.
Driver, 20, suffered a thigh muscle tear last weekend, while veteran McCann needs surgery to remove a metal plate.
The former Scotland international had battled back to fitness after his leg break at Celtic Park in August but the plate is causing him discomfort.
"I am confident I will make a full comeback," 33-year-old McCann told the club website.
On the subject of Driver's injury, caretaker manager Stevie Frail told Hearts News: "It's very disappointing and obviously a real blow for the player who has had a stop-start season.
"It's frustrating for all of us as he's looked really good in parts. He'll be out for a number of weeks."
