Hearts defenders Oisin McEntee and Tomas Magnusson will play no further part in the current campaign due to serious injuries. Manager Derek McInnes confirmed the news following medical assessments on the pair this week, according to Sky Sports. McEntee suffered a calf injury during recent action, while Magnusson sustained a significant knee problem.
The loss of two central defenders leaves the Edinburgh club with limited options in the heart of the defence for the final weeks of the season. McInnes stated that the squad must now deal with the setback as they look to secure their league position. Both players are expected to begin their rehabilitation programmes immediately to prepare for the next term, per reports from The National.
Hearts currently sit in the top half of the Scottish Premiership table as the split fixtures approach. The club has not yet confirmed whether they will look to the free agent market or internal youth prospects to provide cover for the remaining matches.
