Positive Hibs injury news: Updates on Demetri Mitchell, Paul Hanlon, Kyle Magennis, Kevin Nisbet and Momodou Bojang

Easter Road boss Lee Johnson will be without Demetri Mitchell, Paul Hanlon, Kyle Magennis and Kevin Nisbet again this weekend, but he is hoping that he will be able to start reintroducing at least one or two of them to first team training relatively soon.

With no new injuries to add to the sicklist after the first two competitive games of the season, the Hibs manager is focusing on the good news that he will have one newcomer to add to the squad for the trip to Bonnyrigg Rose in the Premier Sports Cup on Sunday, now that Momodou Bojang has been added to the pack, and he says he expects those numbers to swell in the coming weeks as old faces return to full fitness.

"I feel that we're in a good place with the four injured players,” said Johnson. “It's all best-case scenario; there haven't been many set-backs.

"Demetri's out and moving about and looks like he's moving well; Paul Hanlon is the same and it looks like we'll be able to integrate them into one or two parts of the sessions early next week.
