David McNamee (Achilles) and Harald Pinxten (hernia) are still out while player-manager Paul Lambert (thigh) is also missing.
New Hearts signings Ibrahim Tall and Samuel Almeida Camazzola are in the squad for the trip to Almondvale.
But midfielders Michal Pospisil (hamstring) and Neil MacFarlane (knee) are both ruled out.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Almondvale Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2005, with Hearts inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Livi in a Scottish Premier match.
