Hearts' Aguiar set to end 17-month nightmare on the sidelines

CSABA LASZLO hopes Hearts midfielder Bruno Aguiar will rejoin first-team training this week as his injury nightmare begins to subside after a 17-month absence.
The Portuguese is running freely and on the verge of returning to full capacity, which his manager expects to happen within a matter of days. He has not appeared at first-team level since April 2007 due to a horrific training-ground tackle from former team-mate Julien Brellier. That left Aguiar nursing a serious ankle injury before a knee ligament problem surfaced during pre-season to further delay his comeback.

Laszlo told the Evening News that Aguiar's rehabilitation is now almost complete and it may only be a matter of weeks before he is back in the side.

The manager said: "I hope he will train with the team this week. I have spoken with him and until now he has been running and looking better. Every day his injury looks better and better so I am hopeful about him. I know he is an important player and a big player for the supporters so, when he is ready, he can help the team."

Hearts currently have several players out of the country on international duty with their respective national teams, most notably the Lithuanian triumvirate of Saulius Mikoliunas, Deividas Cesnauskis and Audrius Ksanavicius, who contributed to a stunning 3-0 victory over Romania in Cluj on Saturday.

Mikoliunas scored one of the goals in the World Cup qualifier, sandwiched in between strikes from Marius Stankevicius and Mindaugas Kalonas.

Michael Stewart and Christophe Berra were not involved in Scotland's defeat by Macedonia in Skopje, but Larry Kingston played as Ghana fell to a late goal against Libya in the African zone of World Cup qualifying.

Eggert Jonsson travelled to Austria with Iceland's under-21 side, who lost 1-0 in a European Championship qualifying game. David Obua scored for Uganda in former Hibs boss Bobby Williamson's first game in charge - a 3-1 defeat by Niger.

#2 I fancied them for a draw but that is amazing. Pilibaitis started, Jankauskas and Beniusis were subs.
Romanians did have a few out but still a fantastic result, one I cant imagine Scotland ever achieving to be honest.

Not nearly as FRIGHTENING as having Makalamby, O'Neil, Nish, Jones, O'Brien, Samba etc in the team.

Some of the better ones might be interested in a site where you can have a bit of banter between fans without the imbiciles spoiling it. The site is impartial and hopefully hibs fans may want to contribute to it as well.

Good news about Bruno...even better news about Neilson...he should be out for a few more weeks as he is getting an operation on his ankle today. Superb!

welcome back bruno. hoping to see some bruno magic before he undoubtedly gets released at the end of contract.

GF, nice one, i'll have a look later. too much on today.

hobos, snore.

#18 I would have thought so, I dont imagine he will play forever, or his contract may come to an end.
Lisbon is apparently a very nice city and the climate is nice. I wouldn't blame anyone for that.

For all the people that raved about conidentiality clauses being totally out of order and the actions of a madman when Hearts (well-Vlad) isisted some ex employees sign one ..............................
Deek the Geek has come out and admitted that he had to sign a confidentiality agreement with Celtic before leaving Darkhead , as he was not going to be allowed his move otherwise.

Right then all you hypocrites out there - lambast Celtic and Ratboy the same way you slated Hearts !!!!!

Pillibitis. Meaning: A disease contracted from biting the pillow. Common signs are a marroon rash around your neck and delusion of European football. Sufferers can be heard muffling words like 'believe, 60,000 seater stadium and Champions League football' as they bite hard into that feather bolster.
22

Chas Niceass,

08/09/2008 13:18:40
#21 Why do you think this? Seems a bit strange because if he gets released 1 day before his comeback, he wont be coming back, will he?
23

victorian of gorgie ,

08/09/2008 13:20:07
#23, quite witty on the face of it. inaccurate though. it can't be delusional about european football 'cos he's still in a euro competition.

better luck next time.

#27 just as much time as the hibs do here.

26

Chas Niceass,

08/09/2008 13:39:19
#26 Apparently not. Rangers seem to sign players, in the most convoluted manor occaisonally and then loan them back out again, last week Hibs released 3 or 4 to make room for a player that Celtic themselves managed to punt at the last minute.
Not only at Hearts it seems but all over.
Watch for it happening at places like Chelsea, Manchester Utd, Man City where there may be too many players and not enough spaces in the team or indeed the budget is overstretched.
Thankfully Hearts have not yet had to take the step of writing begging letters to 30 EPL and Championship sides to take players off their hands.
Only at Rangers eh.

#30 Really, never heard about that. Pointless discussing it really if you are only go to reply with fiction.
And people call Hearts fans deluded.

That make you feel better now?

Im sorry for posting banter perhaps no-one should have a joke anymore as it seems some people get offended when its given back to them.

If you think is not impartial perhaps i should start re-wording the Hibs History section a little more then?

Let them pretend they are important.

Bruno: Meaning: title given to offspring of the former boxer Frank Bruno. Probable type of person to be called this name will grow up to become an overated sportsman who like getting battered about the ring.

#39 GF. I'm all for having a 'banter'. I just get bored with the same mundane comments that appear every day on the EN site and then to see the same things appearing on a forum. Boring.

Woody its just as mundane as hearing Flats, tescos, administration, vlads dumping us, vlads in financial trouble, asda's, bankruptcy.

Every single day from more than one Hibs fan.

The crack abuot seats is perfectly harmless, just as Hibs fans were quick to jump on the bandwagoin about empty seats a couple weeks back.

#47 GF. That's my whole point. I'm talking about both sets that come on here but so far on that site the only mundane and boring comments have been from Admin - re seats.
It would be great if a forum was set up with banter and not descend into the normal diatribe that you see here every day but TBH I just can't see it.
Good luck to you anyway.

Thanks, I wouldnt worry about it descending into the drivel we have on here. The forums are moderated and unlike these forums users can be banned if things get to that level, which hopefully they wont and no-one will have to be banned.

I have a question.

Had we signed a mongolian midfielder would you have started posting under the name MONGOL JAMBO.

You are a waste of space and are fooling no-one.

Grow up you nob.
