Marius Zaliukas Returns

Last updated : 17 September 2009 By hearts-mad newsroom
The Lithuanian international is available for the clash against Celtic on Sunday after completing his four-match league ban.

Although he featured in both his side's UEFA Europa League play-off ties against Dinamo Zagreb - he scored Hearts' second goal in the 2-0 victory over the Croatian champions at Tynecastle - he has yet to figure in a domestic match this season due to the suspension.

 "This is a positive for us," said Csaba.

 "Having Marius available gives us more options, definitely.

 "He is a good player but he must learn from his mistakes as he cannot give anything to the team on the pitch if he is sitting in the stands."

Goalkeeper Janos Balogh, meanwhile, returned to light training yesterday and is hopeful of being available for the weekend.

The Hungarian missed the win over Kilmarnock on Tuesday night through illness, with Marian Kello deputising between the posts.
