Although Hearts have welcomed back four first-team players ahead of this Saturday's Premiership meeting with Kilmarnock, several others are still missing. The visitors are also without two of their more experienced campaigners for the trip to Edinburgh.
Derek McInnes will hope to see his side close the gap on Hearts in the chase for European places with a result at Tynecastle Park. The Gorgie side are 11 points ahead of their opponents and firm favourites to finish third, with Kilmarnock primarily competing against St Mirren and Hibs for fourth spot.
Here is the latest injury news ahead of the match:
