Early Team News: Nicky Cadden, Bowie & Kuharevich Available For Selection

Hibernian Head Coach David Gray provided an early team news update ahead of our William Hill Premiership clash with Ross County.

The Hibees arrived safely in the Highlands earlier this morning and will now train in Inverness before tomorrow’s match with Ross County in Dingwall.

Speaking to the media ahead of the fixture, Gray provided an update on his travelling squad – including some positive news about Nicky Cadden, who could return this weekend.

“Nicky Cadden got his nose realigned and has now been given a mask, so he is available for selection.

“He will have to wear a protective mask for up to six weeks, it's a specialist mask which you see a lot of players wearing these days for cheekbone or nose injuries.

“He has had that fitted now - he is comfortable with it - so he will be available for this weekend if selected.”

Gray has more firepower to choose from up-front with several players returning from both injury and suspension.

“Kieron Bowie and Mykola (Kuharevich) both managed to get minutes at the weekend as well which is great so they are both available too.

“Jordan Obita and Nathan Moriah-Welsh missed the Clydebank game through suspension, so they come back into the fold.

“The ones that don’t quite make it are Elie Youan, Joe Newell and Marvin Ekpiteta – but aside from that we are in a good place at the moment.

“We have done everything we can to make sure we are well prepared, we have arrived safely and we are all looking forward to the game."
