Heart of Midlothian have been dealt a major blow with news that Jamie Walker is set to miss up to 10 weeks.
The promising 20-year old winger has sustained a broken bone in his foot and will now require surgery which will see him sidelined for more than two months.
"It didn't look good for the lad on Saturday and now we know for sure," said Jambos boss Gary Locke.
"He's had a scan and he'll have surgery later this week. It's just another blow for us which we'll need to take on the chin.
"It gives an opportunity to someone else, but our are options are getting fewer."
