Tigers wait on duo

24 September 2010 08:30
Hull manager Nigel Pearson is hoping to pick his side from an unchanged squad for the clash at Norwich. Pearson has slight concerns over Jimmy Bullard and Craig Fagan, who have been troubled this week by back and groin problems respectively, but remains confident they will prove their fitness. Kevin Kilbane, Richard Garcia, Nick Barmby, Will Atkinson and Mark Cullen all started on the bench in Saturday's goalless draw and offer Pearson plenty of alternatives if either Bullard or Fagan fail to make it. Long-term absentees Caleb Folan (thigh) and summer signing James Harper (foot), yet to appear this season, remain sidelined but both players have returned to light training and hope to return before the end of October. Pearson has no other new injury or suspension problems as his side look to register their first points on their travels in the Championship this season.
