Hunt a doubt for Hull

Republic of Ireland winger Stephen Hunt is doubtful for Hull's Premier League match against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Jimmy Bullard, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since December, was left out of the squad for the defeat against West Ham two weeks ago but has since played for the reserves and in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Doncaster this week.

Geovanni (knee) is fit but Anthony Gardner is facing six weeks on the sidelines with an ankle problem, while Dean Marney is a doubt.

Craig Fagan will definitely miss the clash following his red card against the Hammers.

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