Ivanauskas (right) and Romanov are back in Scotland

Ivanauskas was given time off due to stress related problems, following the 2-0 loss to Kilmarnock on 21 October and has been recuperating in Lithuania.

"I needed this rest because it was very hard and now I feel very good," the Lithuanian told the club website.

"I start on Monday with the team. My problems are my problems but now I feel good and ready."

Ivanauskas flew into Edinburgh on Friday morning with club owner Vladimir Romanov.

Romanov has remained silent about the current unrest which has enveloped Tynecastle recently.

Hearts supporters groups had called for a meeting with Romanov following demonstations at Tynecastle before, during and after the 1-0 home defeat to Rangers.

And midfielder Paul Hartley also voiced his desire for clear-the-air talks with the club owner following the protests.

Our situation is not good but I think it has been a learning time Valdas Ivanauskas

The problems were highlighted when club captain Steven Pressley held a press conference to announce that there was "significant unrest" in the Hearts dressing room.

Pressley has not featured in Hearts' last two games and fans have been vocal in support of the Scotland defender.

Ivanauskas, who will watch Saturday's match at Inverness from the stand, will have been absent for six games.

Eduard Malofeev has been acting as the interim manager and his place was due to be taken by Kaunas coach Eugenijus Riabovas.

My Sport debate: Your thoughts on matters at Tynecastle

However, Ivanauskas is ready to return and looking forward to arresting a poor run of form.

"We need points now," he added. "Our priority is the next game against Inverness.

"Our situation is not good but I think it has been a learning time. Tomorrow we need three points and after tomorrow's game we will see what the situation is. Our situation needs points."

Meanwhile, sporting director Alex Koslovski has apologised to supporters after accusing them of being "discriminatory" towards the club's Lithuanian players.

"I apologise for the comments made last week after the Rangers game," he said. "I didn't intend to but the players felt hurt from the reaction from our supporters.

"You always need to be calm and analyse a situation and that is why I'm saying sorry. High emotions help no-one."
