Heart of Midlothian will be without winger Calvin Miller for two months after surgery is required following a knee injury in Sunday's Premier Sports Cup semi-final defeat by Hibernian. Thomas Magnusson will also miss the international break after suffering concussion in the first half at Hampden Park. The additions make Hearts' injury list already lengthy: head coach Wouter Vrancken will take only 19 players—six short of the normal maximum squad size of 25—to Thursday's Conference League match against Thun in Switzerland.
The absence of both men means the Edinburgh side now have 10 first-team players sidelined through injury. Hearts took an early lead at Hampden, but Magnusson was forced off after just 14 minutes. Miller, who had set up Claudio Braga's opener, followed him to the dressing room on 37 minutes, with Hibernian taking a 2-1 lead shortly after.
Until his injury, the uncapped 28-year-old was being touted as a possible inclusion in the latest Scotland squad announced by fellow Belgian Sebastien Pocognoli.
