Hibs boss Collins welcomes back Benjelloun

Moroccan striker Abdessalam Benjelloun is on his way back this week at Hibs.

Hibs boss John Collins said: "Benji can provide us with that bit of magic at the top end of the pitch, that wee shimmy past defenders so we are looking forward to getting him back.

"He's been out a long time and it didn't help when he went away with his country and they played him when he wasn't ready."

Benjelloun's lengthy lay-off was a combination of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and a knee injury which was aggravated while on international duty for his country's Olympic team.
