Hearts delays for three players as the club prepare for injury news

Hearts are awaiting scan results for injured defenders Harry Milne and Christian Borchgrevink, while midfielder Oisin McEntee could be out until after the upcoming international break. The Edinburgh club delayed scans on Milne and Borchgrevink until after the weekend to allow swelling and fluid to subside. Milne is feared to be sidelined until next season with a knee injury, while Borchgrevink is dealing with a hamstring strain sustained against Trabzonspor.

Head coach Wouter Vrancken confirmed the club will not rush players back amid an injury list totaling eight first-team squad members. Out of the sidelined group, only defender Stuart Findlay has a slight chance of returning for Wednesday's Scottish Premiership clash against Rangers.
