Uche Ikpeazu drops big hint early Hearts return is on the cards

Uche Ikpeazu has reassured Hearts fans over fears he could miss a hat-trick of crucial games.

The big striker looked to have been knocked out during Saturday’s huge win over Aberdeen that saw the Jambos leapfrog capital rivals Hibs.

Craig Levein revealed after the game Ikpeazu would be out of action for at least three weeks if if the centre-forward had suffered concussion.

Ikpeazu would miss Premiership clashes with Rangers on Wednesday, the Edinburgh derby on Saturday and then the Scottish Cup semi-final against Inverness the following Saturday.

Hearts confirm pre-contract signing of Livingston captain Craig Halkett  

But the 24-year-old has taken to social media to update Jambos ahead of the crucial run of fixtures.

He posted on Twitter: "Thanks for your concerning messages @JamTarts fans, much appreciated! I feel good see you soon."
