On-loan Arsenal stopper Vito Mannone is poised for first-team action with Hull after returning to training following his groin injury. The keeper has not played since December but made a return to the squad for Saturday's draw at Ipswich.
Speaking to Hull's official club website Mannone said: "I really cannot wait to get back onto the pitch.
"It has been very frustrating, especially because I was really enjoying things here. I'm like a kid at the moment because I just want to play everyday.
"Everything here is positive, but now we need to take it game by game and if we do that we will have a chance."
