Hearts goalkeeper Marian Kello has warned Jamie MacDonald he intends to reclaim the gloves once fully fit again.[LNB] Kello has been out of action since being forced out of the Edinburgh derby win over Hibernian on August 28 with a shoulder injury.[LNB]The problem has sidelined him for longer than first anticipated but the Slovakian hopes to be back in contention soon and is preparing to battle MacDonald for the jersey.[LNB]He said: "Jamie got an opportunity and did well. But I definitely want to fight for my position and I will do everything I can to get back in my position."[LNB]MacDonald impressed during Sunday's 2-0 win over Celtic in the Scottish Premier League and Kello added: "Yesterday was a very good game and we played really well.[LNB]"We didn't have any big faults at the back and Jamie made a couple of good saves. I think we deserved the victory."[LNB]Kello revealed he is now finally on the road to recovery after having injections a week ago in a bid to cure the problem and he hopes to be involved in a friendly this weekend.[LNB]He told HeartsTV: "Now it's five weeks from the injury and after four weeks it was very difficult. There was pain all the time and I was not getting better.[LNB]"Last Monday, I got some injections to the shoulder and, from this morning, I have started to do strengthening stuff and getting my fitness should be fine.[LNB]"On Thursday, I could be with the team and that would be great for me.[LNB]"It's good to have some time to train and we have a friendly game on Saturday so it's good for me. I can get the friendly game and get my fitness back."[LNB]Kello admits the length of time he has spent on the sidelines has been a shock.[LNB]He said: "I remember straight after the game I went with the national team and even the doctors were thinking just a couple of days.[LNB]"But obviously it took much more and I was surprised. It was a really frustrating time."
