Cardiff City player Tom Sang, 24 yrs old this year, had been in and out of St.Johnstone’s team and had just made a good appearance in his previous game.
Sang suffers injury
Cardiff loan man Tom Sang picked up a hamstring injury on Saturday during St Johnstone's match with Hibs.
Sang started the game at right wingback but was replaced after 20 minutes. That was compounded by the fact that his replacement, James Brown, also had to be substituted at half-time due to a muscle complaint.
Jamie McCart was also forced off late on, with boss Callum Davidson pointing to the surface as a contributory factor.
“It’s not great when both of your right wing-backs get injured within 20 minutes of each other,” said Davidson.
“I was almost going to bring Shaun Rooney down from the stand in the second half!
“But it shows our squad is a good size at the moment and Michael (O’Halloran) did well when he came on and gave us a wee threat.
“Tom is a hamstring, James is a calf and Jamie a groin.
“Our pitch is quite soft and it was firmer there.
“When you contrast the pitches and ask boys to play at that intensity you always run the risk of picking up little niggles.
“Fortunately it didn’t cost us the game but I wasn’t able to make too many forward-thinking changes.”
