SUPER Eagles and Hearts defender, Juwon Oshaniwa could return from injury to face Celtic in tonight's Scotish League Cup quarter-final at Tynecastle.
The Nigerian full-back has received the all-clear after a scan on the hamstring he injured against Dundee United nine days ago. Doctors told him there is no damage to the area and he has resumed training at Hearts’ Riccarton training base.
“Oshaniwa should be okay,” said Neilson.
“He’ll be involved with us but I’ll need to make a decision on whether he plays or not.
“Oshaniwa has been training, he’s had his scan and everything is fine but we need to be careful with him. Blazej Augustyn is suspended for Saturday and Alim Ozturk is already out, so I need to be careful I don’t lose another defender.”
