Folan out of derby clash
Hull striker Caleb Folan has been ruled out of the Humber derby clash with Scunthorpe at the KC Stadium.
Folan returned as a second-half substitute for only his third appearance of the season in last week's 1-1 draw at Barnsley, but suffered a leg injury and faces another spell on the sidelines.
The Tigers will be boosted by the return of on-loan Liverpool defender Daniel Ayala from a three-match suspension, while James Harper could return following illness.
Midfielder Robert Koren remains sidelined with a hamstring strain and Craig Fagan is also unavailable.
Defender Paul McShane is doubtful due to a thigh problem, while Jay Simpson is expected to return to the starting line-up in place of Rowan Vine, who has returned to parent club QPR.
Manager Nigel Pearson has no other new injury or suspension problems, but midfielder Jimmy Bullard is two weeks away from a return from his latest knee injury.
