Mauricio PinillaMauricio Pinilla, the striker Hearts signed on loan in the summer from Sporting Lisbon, is still in his native Chile receiving treatment on a calf injury he sustained while playing for the national side in a friendly against Paraguay on 15 November. The former Chievo and Inter Milan forward has not played for Hearts since September and has been fit enough to start just two league games for the club all season. Compounding the supporters' frustration is the fact that on the few occasions Pinilla has played he has looked a gifted addition to the team. He scored in each SPL match, against Inverness and Aberdeen, but was sent off at Pittodrie after picking up a second booking for celebrating excessively. Since he last played for Hearts, Pinilla has twice travelled to South America to play for Chile and picked up injuries on both occasions. Pinilla has graced the top flights in Italy, Spain and Portugal but his club appearances have been sporadic since his arrival in Europe.  Taken from the Scotsman |
