Hearts are likely to bring back Don Cowie for the Europa League second qualifying round clash with Birkirkara on Thursday.
The midfielder has been troubled by a calf problem, but is full fit and available for the match in Malta.
Hearts boss Robbie Neilson has no other injury concerns going into the tie and has a strong squad available for the first-leg.
The Edinburgh club will be hoping for a repeat of their 6-3 aggregate victory in the last round against Infonet of Estonia.
But a bigger challenge for the visitors could be the temperatures of around 30C at kick-off time.
