Hamilton Accies midfielder Kyle Wilkie sustained a ruptured achilles tendon injury at training on Wednesday morning and has been ruled out for the next 6 months by the club.
The 20-year-old, who had played in two matches so far this season and had worked himself back into the squad after a spell on the sidelines with injury and illness last season, was operated on yesterday with Accies Secretary Scott Struthers saying, “We all wish Kyle a speedy recovery.”
