Malachi Fagan-Walcott and Oisin McEntee are set to return from injury for Heart of Midlothian' Premiership clash with St Mirren this weekend.

The duo will be fit to return to action against the fifth-placed side after recovering from their respective sidelinements, boosting a Heart of Midlothian side that sits third in the table with 13 points from seven games.

Their return comes as Heart of Midlothian aim to maintain momentum in the title race, five points behind leaders Celtic, following a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock last time out.

Squad development

Summer signings Aron Benjaminsen and Leart Kabashi are expected to challenge for playing time once the international break ends.

Heart of Midlothian signed the 18-year-old Benjaminsen from Vikingur Gota and Kabashi from Grasshopper Zurich during the transfer window, with the former operating as a forward and the latter as a midfielder.

Both teenagers are poised to push for first-team opportunities as the club looks to integrate youth into the squad ahead of a demanding fixture list.

Heart of Midlothian face St Mirren at home on 2026-10-10 in their next Premiership fixture, seeking to avenge the 1-0 defeat at the same venue back in February.
