Really hope it’s not too bad. Wouldn’t expect to see him next week but international break follows that which might come in handy in terms of not missing too much.

Hamstring but SDG said too early to say how bad.

Please be a precaution, he’s our best player this season. This could derail a lot.

If it's a grade 2 partial hamstring tear he could easly be out for a month or even the rest of the season
Got to hope it's a grade 1 mild hamstring strain or pull which could see him back in 10 days

He’s been unfortunate with injuries to his nose and then this potential hamstring.

We have shown against Motherwell at home when he went off we have others who can fill in but he has been incredible this season - his quality of cross and his leadership / drive has been brilliant making him a fans favourite.

Both Caddens out would be a blow but allows others to come in and prove they are good enough to play.

9 games left - be interesting to see how many he is available for.

Suppose one positive may be free weekend for international break and cup semi final. Hopefully month out at max

It immediately looked bad at the game. I watched the incident again last night and the commentator suggested that Cadden indicated to the bench that his hamstring was torn rather than tweaked. If true we’ve seen the last of him this season nd DG has some headaches for the run in.

If that's the case then that's by far the worst thing to happen yesterday. Worse than going out of the Scottish cup.

I don't think we'd have turned the derby round last week without Cadden

Think back to the Boxing Day win at Tynie. Joe Newell and Elie Youan were mainstays, but have hardly played since. David Gray will find a way.

We’ve been very good in terms of dealing with missing players lately. I think everything else is that settled that it’s made it easy for boys coming in. And they also know that if they take their chance they’ll stay in the team.

Obita wasn’t great when he came on yesterday but I think he’s more than able to deputise if Cadden is missing.

Yesterday was a hell of a game to have to step back in to. Obita has a good career behind him and our POTY last season. He's a good player.

By far the worst but compounded by Chris Cadden not looking good when he fell so hard on his spine. We may have lost them both for a while.

Definitely and this time around he gets the benefit of having Iredale behind him that he didn’t have before. Our left side is really good at the moment. Not so much down the right. C Cad-den has had to to the lions share down that side and I’m not sure who fills that role effectively.

Personally think CC is every bit as good a player as NC but doesn’t have the support of an Iredale behind him. He has to do the work of two players up the right side and does amazingly.

If it hadn't gone yesterday , there's a good chance it would have gone on that pathetic excuse for a pitch that we have to play on next week.

There isn’t an actual difference in pull v tear they are just varying grades of damage to the fibres.

Did not know that. Maybe I’d be better not listening to commentary. But it looked bad in real time and didn’t get any better for the rewatching. I don’t suppose tweak is a medical term either. 😂

I couldn’t care less about the result yesterday, i expected us to get not nothing from the officials (Brenda moan) and Celtic probably wanted to prove a point.

Losing N Cadden was the worst thing about the game yesterday. Fingers crossed it’s only a few weeks. Also the fact most people feel the same way, that’s candidate for Player of the Season in my eyes.

Mikey Stewart was reacting to a gesture Cadds made to Gray which seemed to suggest he was saying to Gray that he felt it pop. That would be bad, as that is normally associated with a full tear (grade 3), as opposed to a partial tear. A slight positive note would be that he reappeared on the bench without obvious crutches, and he didn’t seem in too much pain whilst leaving the pitch, but he could just be hard as nails.

MS did say that, but from what I saw I'm not sure how he came to that conclusion. When there's the pop the players generally go down like they've been shot and don't walk off the park as freely as Cadden seemed to.

Even if his recovery was miraculous I wouldn't have anyone with hamstring issues near that pitch at Kilmarnock.

The new Champions League format suits Celgers but eventually there is a reckoning as soon as they hit the knock out stage.
They were getting murdered every season in the old format which was killing the Scottish UEFA coefficient.

Out for 'a few weeks' but not the season, as per SDG in the EEN gray on the Hibs site saying a couple weeks. International break coming hope so hopefully he's back after that

On his injury, David Gray commented: “I’m gutted personally for Nicky. He was doing really well, so an injury at this stage of the season is a blow for him, and for us.

“The hamstring strain isn’t as bad as it could’ve been. He will miss a couple of weeks, and with that in mind, the international break comes at a good time. He will still have a massive part to play this season.

“Now he’ll work hard with our medical and sports science teams, and we’ll hopefully get him back on the pitch as quickly as we can.”

No real surprise. We’ve had plenty of players who have been a ‘couple of weeks‘ away throughout the season but it never transpires to be just a couple of weeks. When what was initially said was said, I thought it was optimistic.
