Marney misses out for Tigers

Hull midfielder Dean Marney will miss tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash against former club Tottenham at the KC Stadium with a knee injury.

Marney suffered medial ligament damage in Saturday’s defeat at Chelsea and is expected to be out for a couple of weeks.

USA striker Jozy Altidore is again unlikely to make his debut as his return from last week’s international duty continues to be held up by red tape.

Forward Craig Fagan is not yet back in full training after a hernia operation in the summer, while Jimmy Bullard and Ian Ashbee are long-term absentees.

Provisional squad: Myhill, Mouyokolo, Gardner, Turner, Dawson, Mendy, Olofinjana, Hunt, Boateng, Folan, Barmby, Ghilas, Geovanni, Zayatte, Cousin, Halmosi, Garcia, Doyle, Kilbane, Duke.
