Cousin a doubt for Hull

Hull striker Daniel Cousin is rated only 50-50 for tomorrow’s Premier League clash against West Brom.

The former Rangers forward played 90 minutes at West Ham in midweek but has since been troubled by a knee injury and Hull are awaiting the result of a scan.

Record signing Jimmy Bullard is poised to make his first start for the Tigers despite missing training today as the club carefully manage his past knee problems.

Matt Duke is set to continue in goal ahead of Boaz Myhill but Nick Barmby (calf), Anthony Gardner (thigh) and George Boateng (knee) are out.

Provisional squad: Duke, Ricketts, Turner, Zayatte, Dawson, Marney, Geovanni, Ashbee, Kilbane, Cousin, Manucho, Bullard, Garcia, Mendy, Fagan, Halmosi, Folan, Doyle, France, Myhill.
