JJ cagey over Jose involvement

Contract rebel Goncalves was handed a shock recall for Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Dundee United, with the Jambos missing 14 players at Tannadice.[LNB]It was the Portuguese defender's first appearance under Jefferies, who had previously indicated the player would not be selected while he continued to refuse to sign a new deal.[LNB]Kucharski was expected to train on Thursday following a groin injury, while the versatile Eggert Jonsson is available again after suspension.[LNB]But Jefferies remains without Marius Zaliukas and Ismael Bouzid, who has seen a specialist about his hamstring injury.[LNB]"I'll have to wait to see who's available first before I decide who plays anywhere," said Jefferies. "Today's the day we'll chat and set up how we want.[LNB]"Last week, I had a few players playing out of position, so there's one or two I'd like to get out of those positions and back into their normal positions."[LNB]Scott Robinson and Jamie MacDonald should be fit to return but captain Michael Stewart will be missing again with a calf injury and is "touch and go" for next weekend's Edinburgh derby.[LNB]Jefferies is also eyeing a surprise comeback for winger Andrew Driver against Hibernian, saying: "I'm hoping to twist the physios arm.[LNB]"There might be an outside chance of him being on the bench for the Hibs game.[LNB]"Realistically, that maybe just a little bit too early. It might be the following week."[LNB]Fellow knee injury victim Ruben Palazuelos could return to training next week.[LNB]Christian Nade will be in the squad this weekend after being given a "final warning" about his conduct following disciplinary action taken against him for punching team-mate Ian Black.[LNB]Meanwhile, Jefferies confirmed Nade and Hearts' other misfiring forwards would be treated to a striking masterclass by all-time top scorer John Robertson on Thursday.[LNB]"He's not employed, he's not under contract," Jefferies said of Robertson, who did a similar favour for him at Kilmarnock.[LNB]"It's great to see him come in and give something back."[LNB][LNB] Motherwell v Hearts.
