As Hibernian prepares for the highly anticipated Edinburgh derby against Hearts, the squad is facing some hurdles with key absences. Defender Grant Hanley will be absent from the lineup due to suspension, a significant blow for the Hibs defensive setup.

Additionally, the team will also miss the services of Rudi Molotnikov and Josh Mulligan, both of whom are nursing ankle injuries, along with Munashe Garananga, who is recovering from a hamstring issue. With these players out, manager Lee Johnson will need to strategize effectively and possibly turn to younger talents or fringe players to fill the gaps in the team.

As the atmosphere at Easter Road heats up for the derby, Hibernian fans will be keen to see how the squad adapts to these challenges. It's vital for the team to rally together and deliver a strong performance to secure bragging rights over their city rivals.
