The Hibees manager acknowledged that his team is worn out, but things are just going to get worse.
In order to strengthen his Hibs squad, Nick Montgomery said yesterday that he needs to get players back from injuries and add a few players during the January transfer window.
However, given Rocky Bushiri’s international call-up, he might not have much longer to wait before getting that opportunity.Due to their commitment to the Asian Cup, Martin Boyle and Lewis Miller will miss Tuesday night’s match against Motherwell, the last game before the Christmas break.
Additionally, Jojo Wollacott, a member of Ghana’s team, and Bushiri are expected to depart before then due to their calls up for the DR Congo’s African Cup of Nations campaign. Josh Campbell sustained an ankle injury in Friday night’s Edinburgh derby, while the Hibees are still waiting to welcome back Chris Cadden, Jake Doyle-Hayes, and Harry McKirdy due to a multitude of ailments.
“You’ve got to look at the contrast between the two squads, and we’re short on bodies, but we have a few boys returning from injuries,” he stated.
“To get the players back, we’re putting a lot of effort into the background. However, there will be opportunities for our young males.
“Based on the numbers, we require a few players to return to full fitness. If there is a chance to bring in a few to supplement our roster, I have discussed this with the board.”
However, it’s not simple. Since there aren’t many good players who aren’t participating, we need to identify a few who can step in and support us.”
Due to the international call-ups, he will be even less available for the Motherwell match and won’t be able to bolster his line in January.
