Hull duo in contention

Hull pair Kamil Zayatte and Bernard Mendy are both in contention for Sunday’s crunch clash with Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League.

The pair both missed last weekend’s draw at Bolton with head and toe injuries respectively.

Left-back Andy Dawson is also expected to start the match at the KC Stadium despite struggling this week with illness.

Striker Caleb Folan is available again after suspension but on-loan Manucho is unable to play against his parent club.

Manager Phil Brown reported that all players trained today with the exception of long-term injury victims Jimmy Bullard, Ian Ashbee and Anthony Gardner.

Provisional squad: Myhill, Ricketts, Turner, Zayatte, Dawson, Garcia, Boateng, Barmby, Geovanni, Fagan, Halmosi, Folan, Mendy, Marney, Cousin, Kilbane, Featherstone, Cooper, Doyle, Hughes, France, Duke.
