Barmby out for Tigers

01 April 2011 10:30
Hull will be without midfielder Nick Barmby for the home clash with Millwall due to a calf injury. Barmby, who struck the equaliser for the Tigers in the 1-1 home draw with Norwich last time out, is expected to be sidelined for up to four weeks. Tigers boss Nigel Pearson will also be without defender Liam Rosenior again. Rosenior damaged shoulder ligaments against Norwich and has targeted a return against Watford next week. Pearson recalled goalkeeper Matt Duke from his loan spell at Derby earlier this week and the 33-year-old is expected to be included as back-up for Brad Guzan, while Vito Mannone is still struggling with a thigh injury. Pearson has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side look to close the four-point gap on the top six.
