The Hibees return to action at Easter Road on Saturday (3pm kick-off), hoping to extend our unbeaten run to six games in the league.
With no game last weekend, the break has given a good opportunity for several key players to get back up to fitness, including Kevin Nisbet and Kyle Magennis. Johnson provided the latest update on them.
“Kevin Nisbet as a 50:50 chance of playing this weekend, we need to sit down with him. He has had a couple of days training, so he could be an option to use off the bench for sure, but we have to see how he feels.
“Kyle Magennis has been really good, he is back training and is in a very good place. Jake (Doyle-Hayes) has been training too, but he still has a pinch of pain so we may need to look at getting an injection for him.”
Mykola Kuharevich is also back in training, having been out injured since our last trip to Kilmarnock back in November 2022.
“Mykola is back out on the grass, he is building up confidence with his ball-striking at the moment. He is moving very well and looks fit.
“He will be like a new signing for us when he comes back, we are looking at potentially the Livingston game in a couple of weeks for his return.”
