Hibs boss Neil Lennon has revealed that on loan goalkeeper Ofir Marciano has joined the Hibees ever growing injury list.
The Israel international, on loan from FC Ashdod, is to go for a minor knee operation, and will be out for up to a month.
Marciano will go under the knife next Monday.
The keeper joins John McGinn, Fraser Fyvie, James Keatings, Danny Handling and Alex Harris in an over-crowded treatment room at Easter Road.
Hibs boss Lennon said:
“Ofir is going to be out for a few weeks now as he is due to have an operation on Monday. It is a meniscus problem on his knee and we have already spoken to his parent club.
“He needs a tidy up because it is progressively getting worse.
“Ross Laidlaw has done well in every game that he has played. He is a very competent back-up goalkeeper and he will fill in for the time being unless we decide to make a change.
“We will not be bringing in a new goalkeeper because Ofir’s injury is short term and hopefully he will only be out until the end of the month. We will just run with the two that we have have at the minute.”
