Derek McInnes says Lawrence Shankland and Cammy Devlin could both return for Hearts\u2019<\/a> next run-out at Tynecastle as his injury woes start to ease.<\/p>\n Skipper Shankland<\/a> has not played since a January 17 Scottish Cup defeat to Falkirk due to a hamstring issue<\/a> but is expected to be back in training at the start of next week.<\/p>\n Influential midfielder Devlin<\/a> is also in line to rejoin his team-mates on the grass this week but Saturday\u2019s televised showdown at Kilmarnock is set to come too soon for the Australian.<\/p>\n Devlin has been out with an ankle knock since a league win over St Mirren on January 14.<\/p>\n Dundee head to Gorgie a week on Saturday and boss McInnes said: \u201cThe likelihood for Cammy and Lawrence is that both will be fit for Dundee.<\/p>\n \u201cLawrence has been really good so, as it stands, we think both of them will be ready for the Dundee game.<\/p>\n “Cammy had a good day on Monday and we\u2019re hoping to get him back doing some work with the rest of the squad before the weekend. He has taken a good step forward over the last few days.<\/p>\n \u201cLawrence and I initially thought he could potentially be back for Livingston (on April 5) but he\u2019s managed to do everything on point.\u201d<\/p>\n One player who could be fit for the trip to Rugby Park is Oisin McEntee, having recovered from a shoulder injury that forced him off in last month\u2019s defeat at Ibrox.<\/p>\n Defender Stephen Kingsley is also making progress from a calf complaint, which has ruled him out since the December 27 derby defeat for Hearts.<\/p>\n McInnes added: \u201cOisin trained fully on Monday, back to contact and no issues. He trained as if he had never been away<\/p>\n \u201cKingsley is working away great and could possibly be fit for Dundee.\u201d<\/p>\n Get more Daily Record exclusives by signing up for free to Google\u2019s preferred sources<\/strong> .
