Wouter Vrancken bullish on Mo Salah as Hearts boss names real Trabzonspor threat

Hearts manager Wouter Vrancken has emphasized that his team cannot solely focus on Mohamed Salah ahead of their UEFA Conference League match against Trabzonspor at Papara Park. Speaking before the European fixture, Vrancken warned that the Turkish side possesses quality across their entire eleven and represents a European top-level threat similar to Benfica, who Hearts faced earlier in the season.

Hearts enter the contest seeking a response following a heavy 7-0 defeat to Celtic, while also aiming to build on an opening round draw against Nordsjaelland. Vrancken confirmed the squad will be without defenders Oisin McEntee and Stuart Findlay, who both remained in Edinburgh due to calf and groin injuries respectively.
