Hearts captain Marius Zaliukas returns from suspension for the William Hill Scottish Cup quarter-final replay away to St Mirren.
Midfielder Mehdi Taouil is struggling with a back injury and has undergone a scan.
Rudi Skacel has recovered from a head knock and Hearts are hopeful that Stephen Elliott will shake off a hip problem but David Templeton (groin) remains out.
St Mirren will be without midfielder Paul McGowan and winger Dougie Imrie.
McGowan is suspended and Imrie is cup-tied for the quarter-final clash at St Mirren Park.
Better news for Saints is the return of left-back Jeroen Tesselaar, while striker Steven Thompson has recovered from a thigh injury.
