Harry Milne injury rocks Hearts as Jambos fear the worst for key defender

Hearts fear left-back Harry Milne has suffered an ACL injury in training and could miss the rest of the season.

Hearts left-back Harry Milne picked up what is feared to be an ACL injury during training at Papara Park Stadium ahead of tonight's Conference League clash with Trabzonspor. The club won't know the full extent of the damage until Milne returns home, the swelling subsides, and he undergoes a knee scan. The injury is a major blow for manager Wouter Vrancken, leaving Stephen Kingsley as Hearts' only fit senior left-back. Kingsley will sit out tonight's game to manage his workload ahead of Sunday's Premiership match against Motherwell, with winger Rogers Mato filling in at left-back in Trabzon.
