Assistant manager Shaun Maloney confirmed Trusty's absence but hinted at possible returns for Alistair Johnston and Cameron Carter-Vickers for the Hibs game on Sunday.

Maloney said: "Alistair's been back training a little bit longer, Cameron just started this week.

"Both won't make tomorrow but they should, if it goes well in the next couple of days, be available for the squad on Sunday."

Meanwhile, on-loan midfielder Oliver Sorensen is back in the country after also dealing with a private matter.

He will be part of the squad for tomorrow's match.

Maloney added: "Auston Trusty has got a private matter, so he won't make tomorrow.

"Oliver Sorensen was pretty similar but he's back in the country today so he'll be in the squad tomorrow."
