Dean Shiels out for weeks!!

Last updated : 24 December 2005 By Steve Forbes


Hibs midfield dynamo Dean Shiels was today ruled out injured for "The Forseeable Future" with a painful back injury.

Deano has been struggling with the injury for the last few weeks, and failed to even make it as a sub in last weekends win over Motherwell.

It has been decided to cure him it will need total rest.

It's a huge blow for Hibs to lose such a key player as the 21 year old former Arsenal youngster.

Shiels recently won his first full international cap for Northern Ireland against Portugal, and would have been hoping to impress N.Ireland boss Lawrie Sanchez in the coming weeks.

Hopefully Dean will be fit again soon.
