Bednar blow for Jambos

Hearts will be without striker Roman Bednar for the second leg of their Champions League third-round qualifier against AEK Athens in Greece.

The Czech player injured his foot against Rangers at Ibrox on Saturday and did not travel with the Tynecastle side, who have worries over two other strikers, Michal Pospisil and Edgaras Jankauskas.

Pospisil is doubtful after suffering a dead leg in Glasgow and Jankauskas is rated 50-50 after suffering a knock.

Midfielder Bruno Aguiar is suspended after his sending-off in the 2-1 defeat in the first leg at Murrayfield.

Provisional squad: Gordon, Neilson, Pressley, Berra, Fyssas, Mikoliunas, Hartley, Brellier, Elliot, Jankauskas, Pospisil, McCann, Banks, Wallace, Karipidis, Mole, Makela, Driver.
