Hearts Defender Gerald Taylor Faces Long Injury Layoff

Hearts' right-back Gerald Taylor is set to miss a significant portion of the season due to a knee injury sustained during a 2-1 defeat to St Mirren. Interim manager Liam Fox confirmed that while the exact diagnosis is pending, it is suspected that Taylor may have an ACL injury. The 23-year-old Costa Rican international, who joined the club on loan from Saprissa, was seen on crutches following the incident. In Taylor's absence, 19-year-old Adam Forrester may be called up to the squad for the upcoming match against Ross County. This injury adds to Hearts' struggles as they seek to improve their performance after losing eight straight matches and going into their Conference League opener soon. Fox is determined to provide the necessary support for Taylor during his recovery.
