Hearts boss Daniel Stendel is monitoring a couple of knocks from his side’s Edinburgh derby win ahead of Saturday’s Tynecastle clash with Motherwell.
The Jambos claimed the bragging rights over city rivals Hibernian with a 3-1 win in Leith on Tuesday.
John Souttar (Achilles) and Peter Haring (pelvic trouble) are definitely missing along with midfielder Toby Sibbick, who could resume training next week after a bout of glandular fever.
Motherwell have a fitness doubt over Liam Polworth after the midfielder’s impressive display in the midweek win over Ross County.
Defender Bevis Mugabi is also struggling with a back injury.
Liam Donnelly completes a two-match ban while Jake Carroll (Achilles) remains out along with Charles Dunne and Jamie Semple (both knee).
Hearts provisional squad: Zlamal, White, Hickey, Halkett, Smith, Dikamona, Bozanic, Clare, Meshino, Ikpeazu, Boyce, Naismith, Walker, Irving, Moore, Avdijaj, Garuccio, Damour, Pereira.
Motherwell provisional squad: Gillespie, Tait, Grimshaw, Hartley, Gallagher, Mugabi, Campbell, O’Hara, Polworth, Turnbull, Hylton, Long, Watt, Aarons, Seedorf, Ilic, Manzinga, MacIver, Maguire, Carson.
