Brown hopes to name same team

Hull manager Phil Brown is hopeful Andy Dawson and George Boateng will be fit for the Premier League clash with Blackburn at Ewood Park tomorrow.

Both players picked up niggles in the impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Saturday but Brown is hoping to name the same side.

Geovanni is still out after travelling to Portugal for treatment on a minor medial ligament problem while Jimmy Bullard has returned to training and could make his comeback against West Ham next weekend.

Provisional squad: Myhill, Gardner, McShane, Dawson, Mouyokolo, Boateng, Mendy, Hunt, Cairney, Altidore, Olofinjana, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Garcia, Zaki, Zayatte, Fagan, Barmby, Duke, Kilbane.
