Medy Elito and Anthony Wordsworth will push to be involved once more when injury-hit strugglers Colchester host in-form Hull on Tuesday.

Elito, 17, made his full debut during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Cardiff and 19-year-old Wordsworth replaced his fellow winger late on for his first league appearance.

Centre-half Matt Heath also performed well on his Us debut after joining on loan from Leeds last week.

Rock-bottom Colchester's treatment room remains crowded with influential defender Chris Coyne facing another week out with his hamstring strain.

Teddy Sheringham (foot), Kevin Watson (calf), Pat Baldwin (knee), Jamie Guy (heel), Mark Cousins (appendicitis), Aidan Davison and Mark Yeates (both shoulder) are all still missing.

Winger Kevin McLeod is back in training following an illness and could be on the bench.

Hull welcome back striker Caleb Folan and midfielder Jay-Jay Okocha for the clash.

The pair are available following three-match bans after being sent off in the 2-0 victory over Burnley, but may have to settle for places on the bench after the Tigers hammered Southampton 5-0 on Saturday.

Forward Craig Fagan is out after picking up a knock in training on Friday, which made him late omission from Saturday's starting XI, paving way for veteran Dean Windass' return from a knee injury, which lasted an hour.

Defender Wayne Brown was also absent for the Saints thumping after picking up a calf injury against Cardiff and remains sidelined along with midfielder Nick Barmby (groin).

The Tigers will be looking to record a first away win in three to strengthen their place in the play-offs and will be wary that the lowly Us held them 1-1 at the KC Stadium last month.
