Marko Ivezic is ready to make his Hibernian debut after recovering from a virus that has kept him sidelined since his September arrival. The 24-year-old Serbian defender has overcome what he described as a 'really bad virus' and is now in contention for the squad.
Ivezic said he is "ready to make his belated Hibernian debut" after his difficult start. His return provides a timely boost for a Hibs side sitting 10th in the Premiership with seven points from seven games. The team's recent form shows one win, one draw, and three losses from their last five matches. Hibernian have scored 9 goals and conceded 11 so far this season, and their next fixture is away to Dundee United on 10 October.
New signing’s background and path to Easter Road
The defender joined Hibernian from German club Holstein Kiel last month, adding depth to a back line. Ivezic's availability comes as the club prepares for a trip to face Dundee United, who are currently eighth, one place and two points ahead of Hibs in the table.
Manager David Gray now has another defensive option as he looks to improve results. The team's last outing was a 1-1 home draw with Aberdeen on 19 September, where Martin Boyle scored a second-half penalty. Boyle's goal came in the 69th minute, cancelling out an earlier Aberdeen strike.
With his illness behind him, Ivezic will aim to make his first appearance for Hibernian in the coming days.
