Midfielder Bryan Hughes will be ruled out for Hull while Andy Dawson and Dean Windass are both doubts for the trip to Norwich.Playmaker Hughes is facing around two weeks on the sidelines with an aggravated knee injury after he was stretchered off just 24 minutes into Saturday's 2-2 draw with Blackpool with a neck injury.

Boss Phil Brown will be hoping talismanic veteran striker Windass can overcome a knock he picked up at the weekend, while defender Dawson is expected to face a further fitness test following a groin injury.

However, frontman Richard Garcia is definitely unavailable as he remains in Australia on compassionate leave.
