Fit-again Tullberg resumes Hearts trial

James Little
DANISH striker Mike Tullberg has rejoined the Hearts squad as he looks to win a move to Tynecastle from Reggina.
The 24-year-old pulled out of the club's training camp in Germany with a thigh injury, but he had done enough to impress manager Csaba Laszlo.

Tullberg is available for transfer after failing to make an impact in Serie A following his move from Aarhus last summer. He has undergone treatment on the slight tear in his thigh and has flown into Edinburgh.

"Mike has come back and we will now have another look at him," said Laszlo. "Hopefully he is over his injury and he can work with the team. After that then we will decide on his future but he is a promising player."

Laszlo has been handed a boost, meanwhile, with the news that Lee Wallace has returned to training. The left-back trained yesterday morning after being sidelined by a calf injury suffered in Germany.

Hearts were forced to start winger Andrew Driver at left-back during the 1-0 friendly win over Hull on Sunday, before youngster Johnny Brown came off the bench for his debut.

Wallace vied with Jose Goncalves for the position last year but the Portuguese player has been loaned to Nurnberg for the season. So Laszlo is pleased that Wallace, 20, is shaping up to be fit for the visit of Motherwell in Saturday's SPL opener.

"We have some injuries at the moment but the good news is that Lee came back to training today," Laszlo said. "If he suffers no reaction then he has a very good chance of playing.

"He has had the problem for a little while but he has responded to treatment."
