Dr. Bapswent Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 http://sport.scotsman.com/football/Laszlo-insists-Stewart-loss-is.4684734.jp Laszlo insists Stewart loss is no problem for Hearts Published Date: 12 November 2008 By BARRY ANDERSON CSABA LASZLO stressed today that Hearts will never be a one-man team under his tutelage and that the loss of Michael Stewart will not hinder the side against Hamilton this evening. The manager has able-bodied replacements ready and waiting to deputise for the suspended Stewart, who incurred a three-match ban for his red card at St Mirren on Saturday. In addition to tonight's match, the midfielder will miss SPL fixtures against Falkirk and Rangers later this month. Laszlo insisted Hearts can thrive without Stewart's influence. He used Ruben Palazuelos and Robbie Neilson in midfield at Love Street and welcomes Marius Zaliukas and Christos Karipidis back into tonight's squad. "David Obua is back, Neilson is also back, so we have new options," said the Hungarian. "I think in every team, if you get a red card or an injury, you must mix a new puzzle. "We played against St Mirren in the second half without Michael and we won with ten men. This is positive and we must keep this spirit. Michael Stewart is a good player but we have other young players who play good football. We don't think only about one person, we have a team and this is my philosophy. "Individuals can decide games but a lot of times, in our situation, we can always beat quality teams if we are compact and we have the will to win." As revealed in yesterday's Evening News, Hearts expect to be without Saulius Mikoliunas for around two months due to knee ligament damage. Deividas Cesnauskis and Audrius Ksanavicius are also unavailable due to injury. "All the Lithuanian players are injured, only Zaliukas is okay," continued Laszlo. "Miko's knee is full with water and he will not play for some time. Cesny has a problem with his muscle and the doctor will analyse him. We must look at the problem with his muscle because this is not good. Ksanavicius has an Achilles problem which began last year." Laszlo admitted to a delay in the treatment of Polish midfielder Adrian Mrowiec, who requires a knee operation. The player arrived on loan from FBK Kaunas in August suffering from fluid from his knee and has made just two appearances for Hearts so far. "I think he will have the operation this week," said Laszlo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Why oh why did we sign yet another injured player who required a knee operation. he wasn't injured when he was signed, but he is now. if only we had some way of signing players that we know for certain wont get injured for a pre-determined period after signing. oh hang on, that's like looking into a crystal ball or attempting clairvoyancy, so just silly really.

ZacBaker Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yes they are! Foolish paper! Also, the issue with stewart is his aggression. take it away and hes a nothing, but as it stands hes a liability! Very tricky situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig R Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 So that's Kingston, Miko, Cesnauskis and Beslija - 4 right-midfielders all injured at the same time? Surely some sort of record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely sure but is it not an immediate one match for the red card.........and then two matches for crashing through the points barrier - which only kicks in later ( after a fortnight or so ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7628mm Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 the bit that I cannot work out is "Ksanavicius has an Achilles problem which began last year." From this are we to believe that he has been playing all this time injured? Makes a bit of a mockery of Rima and her sticks et all. Also I put it to you Vlad that Ksanavicius has been our Achilles heels since he arrived. Well him and a good few others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
