Midfielder boost for Hibs

HibsMorocco international midfielder Merouane Zemmama is making good progress and could be back in action within a month.

The 24-year-old Hibernian star has missed the start of the new season with a foot injury, but boss Mixu Paatelainen says it will not be too long before he is back in action.

"It will be absolutely fantastic to get him back because he is a terrific football player," Paatelainen told The Scotsman. "You always miss quality players and Merouane certainly falls into that category.

"He's someone who makes things happen and I have to say I can't wait to see him back."
