Hull welcome back Folan for Stoke trip

Ibrahima Sonko will be forced back onto the sidelines for Hull’s trip to his parent club Stoke tomorrow.

The defender had not played first-team football for more than five months when he was called on by boss Iain Dowie for last weekend’s 2-0 win over Fulham but he is ineligible for the Britannia Stadium trip under the terms of his loan agreement.
