Bullard doubt for Tigers

15 October 2010 10:00
Hull midfielder Jimmy Bullard is doubtful for the clash at manager Nigel Pearson's former club Leicester. Bullard is struggling with a knee injury and could face a late fitness test as Pearson returns to the Walkers Stadium for the first time since leaving to become Phil Brown's permanent successor in the summer. John Bostock and Kevin Kilbane, both unused substitutes in the goalless draw with Coventry last time out, could come into contention for a start if Bullard fails to make it. Bullard's absence could also be tempered by the return to the squad of striker Caleb Folan. Folan has yet to appear for Hull this season due to complications with a dead leg, while summer signing James Harper (foot), still waiting for his first appearance for the club, will travel with the squad, but is not expected to feature.
