Guillaume Beuzelin could make his Hamilton debut in tomorrow's Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against St Johnstone.
Former Hibernian star Beuzelin joined Accies this week on a three-month contract and is likely to be in the squad against Saints.
Fellow midfielder Simon Mensing will be given until the last moment to shake off a hamstring problem, while Derek Lyle (knee), James Gibson (knee) and Alex Neil (hip) are all long-term casualties.
St Johnstone team boss Derek McInnes has one big doubt, but has refused to identify the player.
Kevin Rutkiewicz and Graeme Smith played in a closed-door this week after recovering from knee and thigh injuries respectively and are back in contention.
Striker Steven Milne returns from the knock which caused him to miss last week's defeat against Dundee United.
