FC Luzern v Hibs team news amid five injury issues

Hibs team news for the clash at FC Luzern in the Europa Conference League

Hibs will face FC Luzern for their second leg fixture in Switzerland this week with Lee Johnson’s side hoping to maintain their two-goal lead which they secured at Easter Road last week thanks to goals from Dylan Vente, Joe Newell and Jordan Obita.

The winner will then take on English Premier League side Aston Villa in the Play-Off round of the competition. Johnson is set to give further team updates when he addresses the media on Wednesday (16 August).

Late calls will be made on the involvement of Élie Youan and Josh Campbell, who missed the weekend defeat by Motherwell with a back problem and shoulder injury respectively, while Jake Doyle-Hayes will also be given every chance to prove his fitness after sitting out the game at Fir Park.

Furthermore, longer-term absentees Chris Cadden and Harry McKirdy remain sidelined as they recover from an Achilles injury and heart surgery respectively.

Almost 1,000 Hibees will make the journey to Switzerland to watch their team in action but for those who cannot make the journey, Solid Sport will be offering a streaming of the clash, with fans able to watch the match from £9.95. English-language commentary will also be provided.

The second-leg battle takes place in Lucerne on Thursday 17 August at the Swissporarena and kick-off is scheduled for 7.45pm BST.
