Csaba Laszlo today admitted three points in Hearts' opening Clydesdale Bank Premier League fixture is absolutely crucial.

The Jambos take on Motherwell tomorrow as the new season gets underway at Tynecastle (kick-off 3pm).

Full-back Lee Wallace is back in contention for the visit of the Fir Park outfit, although Csaba indicated there wouldn't be too many changes from the friendly against Hull City.

Speaking to Hearts News Today, the manager said: "We have talked about our opponents Motherwell a great deal, this week.

"I have my information and we will prepare very thoroughly for this extremely important match.

"We won't make too many changes from the Hull game, although Lee could come back into the team.

"Hopefully with David Obua coming to Scotland next week we can have a new possibility."

Csaba has revealed that he's putting in place a new reporting system so that he has the most comprehensive and up-to-date news on each week's opponents.

"We are building a scouting system to scout the games for us. I promise we are working extremely hard to be highly prepared," he explained.

Ruben Palazuelos and Gary Glen are both suspended for tomorrow's game, while Christian Nade, Bruno Aguiar and Mirsad Beslija are not fit.

Meanwhile, Csaba hopes that Danish trialist Mike Tullberg will join full training next week after a thigh problem.

The Reggina striker spent time with the squad in Germany but was injured against Kaiserslautern.

"I hope next week he we can look at him in training and after we must sit with the club owner and technical team," Csaba said.

"We will then look to make a decision together. It must be the right decision for Hearts."
