Hearts boss Laszlo leaps to defence of under-fire Obua

CSABA LASZLO leapt to the defence of Hearts' under-fire Ugandan midfielder David Obua today after holding discussions with the player about recent supporters' criticism.

Fans of the Tynecastle club have grown increasingly impatient with Obua of late due to a series of unconvincing performances. He was jeered from the field on Saturday against Dundee United after sustaining a groin injury which could sideline him for two weeks.
