The Story in 60 Seconds

Hearts winger Calvin Miller faces at least two months on the sidelines after suffering a meniscus injury requiring surgery during the Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Hibs. Manager Wouter Vrancken confirmed the prognosis ahead of the team's Conference League match against Thun, noting that Miller's precise recovery timeline depends on the surgical outcome.

The setback leaves Hearts with 10 first-team players unavailable for the European trip, where Tomas Magnusson will also miss out due to concussion protocols.
