Boateng a concern for Tigers

Hull manager Phil Brown has just one injury worry ahead of his side’s trip to face Blackburn at Ewood Park tomorrow.

The Tigers performed above expectations to claim their maiden Premier League win at the first attempt against Fulham last week and if George Boateng (thigh) is passed fit they could stick with the XI which started that match.

If Boateng misses out the likes of Dean Marney and Peter Halmosi will come into contention, while Caleb Folan is pushing for a start after scoring the winning goal last time out after coming from the bench.

Team (from): Myhill, Ricketts, Turner, Gardner, Dawson, Fagan, Ashbee,

Boateng, Marney, Geovanni, Windass, Doyle, Hughes, Garcia, Cooper, Barmby, France, Halmosi, Featherstone, King, Mendy, Warner.
