Hull boss Steve Bruce says he's desperate to boost his squad after losing midfielder Robert Snodgrass to a knee injury and defender Alex Bruce to back problems. "We're trying to add to the squad as we know we have to," Bruce said.

"We've lost two big players in the last week.

"We've got 10 or 12 days to try to bring in a replacement [for Snodgrass], and two or three offers went out in the last 24 to 48 hours."
