Pressley poised for action

Hearts captain Steven Pressley could be back in action for the Bank of Scotland Premier League game against Dundee United.

The defender was forced to pull out of Scotland’s midweek defeat to Wales with a back problem but has trained upon his return to Edinburgh.

Phil Stamp has also trained and he should be fit to take part this Saturday after recovering from a knee injury.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Gordon, Maybury, Webster, Pressley, Kisnorbo, Neilson, Hartley, MacFarlane, Wyness, Weir, de Vries, McKenna, Moilanen, Kirk, Sloan, Janczyk, Stamp.
