Clerry Jambo Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 CALUM ELLIOT could be fit to face Dundee United on Sunday provided a scan on his injured knee reveals no serious damage. The Hearts striker missed last night's Co-operative Cup victory over Elgin City and was due to be examined today. ? GOALS: Calum Elliot Medical staff at Riccarton had suspected cartilage trouble when Elliot twisted his knee in training during preparations for the Elgin match. However, the Hearts doctor has told manager Jim Jefferies that the injury is not as bad as initially feared and the player was to be scanned today as a precaution. "It's not the knee he had problems with before, it's the other one," explained Jefferies. "He caught his studs in the turf as he turned and we feared the worst. The doctor looked at it last night and it looks like it's not as bad as we feared. We thought it might have been his cartilage but the doc doesn't think so. "We will scan it just to get it right but the doc doesn't think it's the cartilage. If that's right he'll have a chance for the weekend. It was a blow to us that Calum wasn't available last night because we would have played him with him being on fire right now. He's probably wishing he did play because he might have got a few goals as we were in such command." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Great news. I really want him to start against United because I think he's a nap to score. Who'd have thought we'd ever say something like that about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
