Hearts are hoping that Cammy Devlin will be fit to play in this Sunday's Premiership clash with Ross County.
The midfielder was one of several players who missed out on Thursday night as the Jambos won 2-1 against RFS in their final Europa Conference League Group A match at Tynecastle this season. An ankle knock kept the Australian out the match but there's hope that he'll be ready to go in Dingwall as Robbie Neilson's men look to kickstart their domestic campaign.
Central defenders Craig Halkett and Kye Rowles are also on the comeback trails from their respective injuries. After 'going through a gradual rehabilitation programme at Riccarton, he has an outside chance of travelling to Turkey for next week's final Conference League group match against Istanbul Basaksehir' according to the Edinburgh Evening News. Given the game is now a dead-rubber with Hearts already out of Europe, he may not be risked.

Rowles meanwhile is targeting a home match with Motherwell on November 6th as the date for his comeback. He has been missing in action with a broken foot.
Peter Haring was another to miss out on Thursday's midweek clash after a bout of concussion recently against Aberdeen and it remains to be seen whether eh plays.
Another on the sidelines potentially is Stephen Kingsley after the left-sided defender hobbled off clutching his hamstring midweek, and he is not expected to play at Ross County.
