Arnaud Djoum ruled out for 7 months

Cameroonian and FC Hearts midfielder Arnaud Djoum has suffered a second major injury. The Cameroonian was stretchered off recently, during the 1-1 draw with Ross County in Dingwall and will miss seven to eight months of football.

Djoum is likely to need surgery on the problem before beginning a rehabilitation programme. 

He fell innocuously after chesting the ball down in midfield during the first half of Saturday's match. A stretcher was quickly called for, with news confirmed later that his Achilles had snapped. 

The 28-year-old previously missed almost three months in total this season with two knee injuries. His latest problem, however, is considerably more serious.
