Hearts’ injury problems have been well-documented this month, but last week saw midfielders Eduardo Ageu and Oisin McEntee return to the squad against Celtic. McEntee put in a decent performance as a second-half substitute in the 2-2 draw and both should be involved against Dundee United this weekend.
The Edinburgh club travel to Tannadice on Saturday for an 8pm kick-off in front of the Sky Sports cameras. A number of influential figures remain sidelined for the visitors, while the home team are in reasonable shape. The latest injury news from both camps is below:
