Hearts defender Craig Halkett will be missing for about ten weeks with his knee injury, manager Craig Levein has confirmed.
The centre-back went off during last weekend's goalless draw with St Mirren and scans have revealed the extent of his lay-off.
Levein said: "We have got a fair idea, it will be around about ten weeks but it might be less or slightly more. It's disappointing on a number of fronts, obviously for ourselves because he has been doing well, and for him because he has been doing well."
