Tullberg back home for treatment

Hearts' injury-hit striker has suffered a fresh setback

Hearts injury-hit striker Mike Tullberg has returned to Denmark for medical treatment on a recurring thigh injury.

The Dane, who has made just two appearances since joining on loan from Reggina, was due to resume training but has suffered a fresh setback.

Manager Csaba Laszlo told the club's website: "I hope he can come back quickly and fit.

"It's been very frustrating for him and it's important he gets fit as quickly as possible."

Laszlo hopes this latest round of treatment will resolve the persistent problem that has afflicted the player's time at Tynecastle.

"He has been here since the summer and not made many games for us so hopefully we can get him back and he can push," said the manager.
