NEIL LENNON has confessed there are question marks over Thomas Agyepong’s future at Hibs after the Manchester City winger was ruled out through injury yet again.

The 22-year-old joined on loan in August following a lengthy visa process but has failed to make the expected impact on the Easter Road squad.

The Ghana internationalist has made just six appearances and only one start for Lennon’s side, who stretched their winless run to six games with Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to Kilmarnock.

After two months out with an ankle injury, Agyepong made his comeback as a substitute in the 2-2 draw with Dundee ten days ago but had to be replaced himself after pulling up.

The pacy attacker could now miss the whole of December with a thigh strain and Lennon has admitted the player’s future is up in the air as Hibs hold discussions with City over their option to extend his loan beyond January.

The Hibees boss said: “Agyepong has had a scan and he may miss December. It’s his thigh.

“So, we’re speaking to Man City on his situation at the minute.

“We’d like to keep him, obviously, but his contribution has been minimal due to injuries. So, it’s something we’re speaking to Man City over.

“He’s contracted to January and we have an option, so we’re talking about that at the minute.

“I like him, but we need him on the pitch.

“We’ve missed him. We’ve got [Martin] Boyle on one side and [Daryl] Horgan’s done his bit, but we’ve missed his extra bit of pace that we had with [Brandon] Barker last season.

“Thomas was going to bring that for us.”

Lennon has confessed the future of Emerson Hyndman, who is on loan from Bournemouth until next month, is also up in the air.

The American, who had a spell on loan at Rangers last year, has missed the last three games through injury but Lennon is hopeful he could return to play a part in a busy schedule ahead of the winter break.

He added: “We can look at it [a loan extension] in January. It’s too early to say.

“Again, he’s played well in patches and hopefully he’ll be back for six of the games between now and January.

“He can make a good contribution because he’s a good player.”
