Tullberg close to Hearts return

Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo hopes to have injury-hit striker Mike Tullberg at his disposal when the Edinburgh side entertain Rangers on 29 November.

The Dane, who has made just two appearances since joining on loan from Reggina because of a persistent thigh problem, will resume training soon.

"I am very happy about this," Laszlo told the club website. "I hope this means we have very few players injured.

"If Tullberg is back then this gives us a bit extra and more options for us."

Laszlo, who has seen his side climb up to third in the SPL, is excited at the prospect of pairing Tullberg with Christian Nade in a two-pronged attack.

"We have not seen him together with Christian Nade, because they have not been both fit at the same time," he added.

"However, this is something we will consider," said Laszlo, who hopes Tullberg can have a similar effect to Bruno Aguiar following the latter's recent return from injury.

"I hope Mike can come back and make the same impact as Bruno. If he does then he would bring a fresh impetus up front."
