"Hearts have had a bid for Forest Green Rovers midfielder Laurent Mendy turned down by the National League club. The Scottish Premiership leaders' analytics service has identified 28-year-old Mendy as a possible option amid absences for Beni Baningime and Cammy Devlin. Devlin was last week ruled out injured for up to two months while Baningime will serve a two-match suspension following his recent red card against St Mirren. Baningime also appeared to pick up a knock during Saturday's Scottish Cup defeat by Falkirk."
"Manager Derek McInnes will have to do without captain and Scotland striker Lawrence Shankland. Top scorer Shankland, 30, went off with a hamstring problem against Falkirk, for up to eight weeks. Elton Kabangu, Pierre Landry Kabore and James Wilson are available, along with regular forward Claudio Braga, while a deal has been agreed to sign Uganda forward Rogers Mato, 22."

Several forwards are available, and a deal for Rogers Mato has been agreed but his paperwork and work permit are unlikely to be completed before the weekend.
