Ageu no 'messiah' but eager to show his quality, says Vrancken

He's not the "messiah", but Ageu can still be a handy player for Hearts. Head coach Wouter Vrancken is relishing the opportunity to soon be able to call upon the club's record signing. Brazilian midfielder Ageu has been blighted by injuries since his arrival last summer, making just seven appearances. Having been sidelined since February, 24-year-old Ageu is closing in on a return to action. "Ageu is working really hard to come back," Vrancken said. "He's eager to play again and to show himself on his top level again and we want to see him there as soon as possible. "You see his quality in training, you see the potential directly. When he's on the ball, he's calm, his decision-making is good. "But again, we cannot overload him with all the pressure and wait for him, and then when he's back, he's the messiah, that would not be fair towards him. "So he has to also get the time to adapt again, to fit in again and to find his level again."
