Steven Naismith has provided updates on Hearts pair Odel Offiah and Kyosuke Tagawa ahead of Saturday's trip to Motherwell.

On-loan Brighton defender Offiah has suffered a tumultuous time at Tynecastle since signing in the summer. He endured yet another health scare recently after being taken off the training pitch late last week before the Rangers Viaplay Cup semi-final clash. This isn't the first time for Offiah having been sent back to the Seagulls earlier in the campaign due to a medical issue.

Meanwhile, Naismith revealed yesterday that Japanese forward is 'annoyed' at his lack of game time at the club since signing from FC Tokyo. He's been unavailable for six of the last seven Premiership games due to a hamstring injury however, but is back amongst the squad for the Fir Park test.

"Kyosuke Tagawa has come back into the group, which is good, and we are now starting to see some of the boys that have been out for a period, out on the grass much more which is pleasing as that brings competition."
