Findlay, Ageu, Gordon out as Hearts face injury crisis

Stuart Findlay, the 30‑year‑old centre‑back who has started every league match for Hearts, will be sidelined for six weeks after a hamstring injury in the win over Falkirk. Record signing Eduardo Ageu, who made his debut start against Rangers, will miss the rest of the season following thigh surgery.

Goalkeeper Craig Gordon’s shoulder injury could also keep him out of Scotland’s March friendlies against Japan and Ivory Coast, while head coach Derek McInnes said the club will have to rely on a squad with 11 players unavailable for training.
