Lithuanian out for two months

Hearts have confirmed midfielder Saulius Mikoliunas will be sidelined for two months. The Lithuanian international tore knee ligaments in the 1-0 SPL win over St Mirren at the weekend. Now manager Csaba Laszlo has confirmed that Mikoliunas will be out until the New Year - but he will not need an operation. "Mikoliunas will wear a brace for four weeks; then the medical staff will get him fit after that," said Laszlo. "Now we know for sure what the problem is, we'll work very hard to get him ready for first-team action once more."
