Hearts midfielder Loic Damour's scan results revealed

Hearts have received scan results for midfielder Loic Damour as they try to cure his troublesome foot injury.

Hearts midfielder Loic Damour is still battling injury.

Medical images show the Frenchman has a spur on his heel. He is to take another injection before returning to training.

Hearts hope he will be able to rejoin sessions at Riccarton before November is out as he strives to make a first competitive appearance under manager Robbie Neilson.

Damour received a jag last month and returned to training briefly but was still feeling pain. Hearts hope another one will resolve the discomfort.

“He’s just got a wee spur on his heel so if he gets an injection he should be back in a couple of weeks,” Neilson told the Evening News.

“I’d hope to have him training with us again by the end of the month and then we will take it from there.”

Winger Josh Ginnelly is stepping up his recovery from a thigh injury and hopes to make Friday’s league match at Dunfermline.
