Alex Gogic may not play again this season, says Martin Canning
Alex Gogic is likely to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, Hamilton boss Martin Canning has revealed.
The Accies defender was substituted in the first-half of Saturday's 2-1 Ladbrokes Premiership win over Partick Thistle at the SuperSeal stadium.
Shaun Want also came off before the break with a hamstring injury and fellow defender Georgios Sarris was replaced in the second-half after sustaining an ankle injury - with both also missing the trip to Hibernian on Wednesday night, while midfielder Ali Crawford will be assessed after he recovered from a knee injury.
Canning said: "Georgios twisted his ankle and should be out for 10 days - two weeks maximum.
"Shaun Want should hopefully be available for Saturday (at St Johnstone), he will miss Wednesday.
"Gogic looks a bit more serious. I think he will probably miss the rest of the season, he has picked up a knee injury. We will need to wait to see the extent of it but it is not looking good for him just now.
"We have had bad luck with injuries this season and between that and people leaving, it has not been an easy season to manage.
"But that is why we have always talked about having as strong a squad as we can because it stands you in good stead if it does happen and thankfully we have good depth and can cope.''
Hibs boss Neil Lennon claimed 10th-placed Hamilton played caveman'' football when the teams drew 1-1 at the SuperSeal stadium in November.
However, Canning insists his side will "always be a competitive team'' as they look to get further away from bottom side Ross County whom they lead by five points with two games in hand.
He said: "If there is a team playing well, which Hibs did that day, we will try to be as competitive as we can be.
"If they are dominating the play, all I can ask of my players is to be as competitive as they can be, work their hardest to take something from the game which we did that day.
"And if we have to do that on Wednesday, that's what we need to do. "I would be very disappointed if Hibs did play well and we rolled over.
"Hibs were very dominant here to be fair, particularly in the first-half and we managed to dig deep and nick a goal with our only shot on target.
"Hibs are a good side so we know we have to be at our best to get something.'
