Razvan Lucescu's side were 3-0 winners over Asteras Tripolis - the Greek outfit Hibs beat in their Europa League second qualifying round tie back in 2018. But it came at a cost with the Tanzanian front man having to hobble off with what appeared to be an ankle injury. He'll be assessed in the coming days but is now facing a race against time to be fit for the Europa Conference League playoff round first leg at Tynecastle this Thursday. Dutch midfielder William Troost-Ekong was left out due to fatigue and should be available for the game in Gorgie. Norwegian centre back Ivan Nasberg is another doubt though. He's been missing for the last 12 games and will undergo a fitness test to determine whether's able to be included i the squad that travels to Edinburgh.

They followed that up with a 4-0 Viaplay Cup win over Partick Thistle. Debitant Odel Offiah scored after Brian Graham's own goal had given the hosts an early lead. Lawrence Shankland made it 3-0 shortly after half-time before being replaced by Kyosuke Tagawa, and he netted his first goal for the club. Steven Naismith made a number of changes from the team that came from behind to set up the meeting with PAOK. But the likes of Cammy Devlin, Nathaniel Atkinson, Peter Haring and Yutaro Oda could return against the Greeks in midweek. Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.
