Hearts stop-gap coach Eddie Ansah insists the side will thrive without potential duo Abdoulaye Soulama and Foovi Aguidi ahead of their crucial penultimate League match against Berekum Chelsea.
Soulama, a Burkinabe and Togolese Aguidi are on international duty with their respective native countries in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Aguidi could return in time for the must-win game as Togo travel to Djibouti for their second group game on Friday but doubt hangs over Soulamaââ¬â¢s availability.
But interim coach Eddie Ansah is unperturbed about the potential absence of the two players for the game against the Blues.
ââ¬ÅFootball is a team game. Soulama will be out because he is on national duty; Foovi too has gone but we believe he
[Agudi] will be coming before our next game,â⬠Ansah told the clubââ¬â¢s official website.
ââ¬ÅThey play on Friday so he is likely to report on Saturday. We will definitely have Foovi around but for Soulama, I donââ¬â¢t think we will have him around.ââ¬
ââ¬ÅBut I think we have others around to do the job for us.ââ¬
