Hearts manager Robbie Neilson believes that it will be loan deals the Jambos are likely to get at this stage in the transfer window.
The Tynecastle side are dealing with a clutch of injury problems after striker Liam Boyce was ruled out for months with a cruciate ligament injury. Defender Kye Rowles is out for at least six weeks with a broken metatarsal and midfielder Beni Baningime is likely to be out until after the World Cup break in November.
That's not including various players picking up slight knocks amid a mixture of domestic and European fixtures, with Neilson keen to add before the deadline on September 1st. They have added German midfielder Orestis Kiomourtzoglou from Dutch side Heracles Almelo BV although are waiting for his work permit to come through.
