Kent faces months out

Hearts head coach Neil Critchley confirms Frankie Kent has suffered "a significant injury" and is set to be out "for months".

The defender went off with an injury to his quad in Thursday's Conference League match with Copenhagen.

"He's got a similar injury to Stephen Kinglsey, though it's in his quad not his hamstring," Crithcley told BBC Scotland.

"It's a significant injury which is a big blow, obviously, and he's facing a lengthy period on sidelines.

"I would say it would be months, definitely. He still needs to go and see a specialist to decide if we'll operate.

"He's been outstanding since I came in, he's a big personality, a great guy to have around the dressing room, so we'll miss him.

"If you look at our squad and our defensive options and cover, then that is an area of the pitch we'll be looking to strengthen in January."
