The Story in 60 Seconds

Hearts have suffered an injury blow ahead of their Scottish Premiership clash against Celtic, with Eduardo Ageu ruled out of Sunday's match. The player suffered a fresh muscle problem following a 5-0 victory over St Mirren. Manager Wouter Vrancken confirmed that the setback will keep Ageu sidelined for both the Celtic fixture and a Europa Conference League game against Nordsjælland.

Vrancken noted that while this issue differs from Ageu's previous pre-season muscle injury, the club will evaluate his recovery on a week-by-week basis to avoid rushing him back. Hearts currently sit third in the Premiership table, five points behind Celtic as they prepare to visit Celtic Park.
