Hull boss Steve Bruce ready to ring changes for Blackburn clash
Hull are expected to ring the changes again for the visit of Blackburn, despite seeing off Premier League Swansea in the Capital One Cup.
Manager Steve Bruce made nine alterations for the 1-0 win on Tuesday and is likely to restore most of his first-choice players on Saturday.
Jake Livermore managed 69 minutes in his first appearance since May following a positive cocaine test and will continue building his fitness.
Alex Bruce has a minor groin problem and deadline-day signing Adama Diomande is still around six weeks away from a debut.
Tommy Spurr is ready to return for Blackburn at the KC Stadium.
The full-back suffered a concussion in the draw with QPR and was forced to miss the win over Charlton as a result, but he has been back in training all week.
Midfielder Chris Taylor played 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday and is line to play for the reserves on Monday as part of his comeback from a groin strain.
The other two players who remain missing for boss Gary Bowyer are Jason Lowe (foot) and Chris Brown (knee).
