Jimmy Bullard is poised to make his home debut for Hull - over 10 months after he joined the Tigers in a club-record £5million move.
After recovering from a cruciate ligament injury sustained on his initial debut at West Ham in January, Bullard returned to action a fortnight ago as a sub in a 2-0 defeat at former club Fulham.
However, Bullard sustained a fresh injury in a reserve game with Wigan soon after, which is understood to have resulted in fluid building around the right knee on which he was operated.
That resulted in the 31-year-old undergoing scans as a precaution which have been viewed and given the all clear by surgeon Richard Steadman.
It is now expected the combative midfielder will start in Sunday's KC Stadium clash with Stoke, a vital game for the future of manager Phil Brown.

Not a bullard fan by any means, but please god, if he does come back, he will instil some get up and go with the team. they have none at the moment!
will he last the first twenty minutes, anybody's guess. ,
Bullard needs to do the business this time around, its a must win or Browns gone .
There's another 10 minutes we will see him on the pitch then before he's injured and out for five week watching the racing at home and getting p iss ed up in Hessle.
Come on you ULLLLL
We'll believe it when we see it lets hope it's true and he lasts the full 90 mins but if he is any good Brown will proberbly pull him off and but some third rater on to avoid getting a win
