Florian Kamberi set to rejoin Hibs squad for Spanish training camp

Flo Kamberi is set to join his Hibs team-mates at their Spanish training camp next week despite missing the Easter Road club’s last two matches of 2019 through injury.

Kamberi picked up a knee knock during his side’s defeat at home to Rangers and was forced to sit out the derby day win over Hearts at Tynecastle and Sunday’s defeat by Livingston.

It is understood that having been told it would take a week to ten days to get over the injury, the 24-year-old took the opportunity to return home to Switzerland to spend time with his family over Christmas.

He also takes advantage of such trips to visit a physician who treated him for a bad injury when he was younger and did so again on this occasion.

Kamberi spent two hours working in the gym on Monday and was said to be “absolutely fine” with, as expected, no discomfort in the knee.

He now plans to return to Edinburgh on Sunday and will join his team-mates, who have been given a few days off by head coach Jack Ross, for their early-morning flight to the south of Spain on Monday.

Hibs will spend six days on the Costa del Sol preparing for the second half of the season, which begins with a tricky Scottish Cup tie away to Championship leaders Dundee United on Sunday, January 19.
