Hibs Striker Chris Killen Back In Training!

Last updated : 24 August 2006 By Steve Forbes


Hibs striker Chris Killen was today expected to return to training after a two week lay off.

The 24-year-old Kiwi striker injured himself in a challenge with Inverness Caley player Ross Tokley a couple of weeks back, up in Inverness in a match that ended in a 0-0 draw.

Hibs boss Tony Mowbray said at the time, that the injury resembled a bullet hole.

Killen was expected back in training today but Hibs boss Tony Mowbray revealed that Killen may not be risked at Parkhead this weekend.

Mogga said:

"Chris isn't far away and there is a temptation if he comes through training today to involve him at the weekend.

"But, at the same time, there's maybe too much of a risk. I'll wait and see what the physio thinks.

"It's not as if it is a twist that can get worse but a stud through his foot which could be a bit tender.

"After Saturday's game we have a fortnight because of the European Championship qualifying games so it might make sense to give Chris that extra couple of weeks."

Good News!!!!

Hopefully he can stay fit!
