Hearts have suffered a massive Scottish Cup Final blow with Uche Ikpeazu limping out of today’s match against Kilmarnock with a suspected hamstring strain.
The giant Englishman has been light on goals this season but is regularly described as a handful due to his bulky 6 foot 3 inch frame.

Hearts’ entire game seems to revolve around getting the ball to Ikpeazu with their early season winning run coming to a halt when he dropped out injured from October to February.
Any sort of hamstring injury is likely to rule the striker out for a couple of weeks, if it’s a pull or a tear it’s likely that the former Cambridge striker will be unable to be fully involved in pre-season training.
Hearts are on a terrible run of form at the moment with just four points from their six matches going into today’s game at home to Kilmarnock.
On loan Norwich striker is also a major doubt for the Scottish Cup Final with his last appearance coming at the end of February in the 2-1 defeat from Celtic at Tynecastle.
