Hull City have received an injury boost in the form of the return of three key players.

James Chester, Mohamed Diame and Gaston Ramirez could all return for Saturday's trip to Swansea City.

Chester makes a return following two-and-a-half months out with a dislocated shoulder and the big defender could directly go into the starting eleven.

Midfielder Diame, 27, hasn't featured for the Tigers since early December due to knee trouble while Uruguayan attacking midfielder Ramirez is a doubt after returning from international duty with a hamstring strain.

Hull boss Bruce said: "Touch wood, we've got a couple coming back through injury. It's welcome news, and the question now is who starts?"
