Ghana midfielder Prince Buaben has been ruled out of Hearts trip to Ross County in the Scottish top-flight on Wednesday.
The absence of the 27-year-old is a major blow to coach Robbie Neilson.
Neilson says other players must step up in the absence of several key players.
“We’ve got Rossi out, Augustyn out, Buaben out, all through suspension. That’s the reason we have a decent squad," he said
We have good players ready to come in.
“We’ll deal with the replay when it comes. First, we have a huge game on Wednesday night against an in-form team. We have a lot of suspensions and a lot of injuries. We have to put a team together and go up there to try and win.”
