Hibernian will make sure Graham Stack suffers no reaction in training following his back injury before deciding on their goalkeeper for Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League game at Kilmarnock.
Stack missed last weekend's 2-0 win over Motherwell and manager John Hughes admits he faces a dilemma choosing between Stack and Yves Ma-Kalambay if the former Arsenal player is declared fit.
Midfielder Kevin McBride (ankle) misses out for the third straight game, while Kevin McCann (hamstring) is back in training but still weeks away from a first-team return.
Kilmarnock have an unchanged squad for the clash.
Full-back Tim Clancy is still three or four weeks away from returning from an elbow injury.
And goalkeeper Alan Combe is just making his way back into training following hip surgery.
Teams:
Kilmarnock (from): Brown, O'Leary, Hay, Ford, Fowler, Wright, Hamill, Skelton, Burchill, Taouil, Bryson, Kyle, Russell,
Bell, Flannigan, Old, Kelly, Owens.
Hibernian (from): Stack, Ma-Kalambay, Murray, Hogg, Bamba, Hanlon, Miller, Cregg, McBride, Rankin, Stokes, Riordan, Flynn, Zemmama, Byrne, Stevenson, Galbraith, Wotherspoon, McCormack, Nish, Benjelloun.
