Hull will make at least one change for Wednesday night's Barclays Premier League clash against Everton with Bernard Mendy out suspended.
Mendy was sent off in Saturday's 3-3 draw with West Ham and is likely to be replaced at right-back by Paul McShane.
Midfielder Seyi Olofinjana is still missing with a hamstring injury and could also be doubtful for the weekend trip to Manchester City. Goalkeeper Boaz Myhill, on the bench against West Ham, could return having fully recovered from a knee injury.
Everton's Phil Neville has been ruled out for two or three weeks due to surgery on a knee injury suffered against Fulham in September.
Marouane Fellaini also misses the clash as he serves a one-match suspension for accumulating five yellow cards this season, while Diniyar Bilyaletdinov sits out the final game of his three-match ban.
Fellow midfielder Steven Pienaar has an outside chance of featuring against Hull after eight weeks out with a knee injury but is more likely to be kept back for Sunday's Merseyside derby.
