Hull may very well be without their captain Robert Koren whenever they attempt to secure a victory that would send them on the Barclays Premier League against Cardiff. The Tigers' skipper and top scorer have been missing the past two games after straining a calf muscle against Wolves and the absence has clearly been felt with Steve Bruce's men goalless within their previous three outings.
Hull, currently in second, only hold a slender one-point advantage over Watford commencing the ultimate round of fixtures but, despite having the final prize riding on the results of their clash with the division's champions, Bruce insists he's going to not risk Koren unless he proves his fitness at Friday's training session.
``He's 50-50,'' Bruce said. ``We'll discover how he's but I've just seen the most beneficial player on the globe (Lionel Messi) this morning play not fit and it is difficult. So unless he's 100 % it will be a huge gamble to put him while in the starting XI.''
The Tigers' options are depleted further as Egyptian striker Gedo, a mid-season revelation, will have no part caused by a building foot problem which Bruce suggested may need a surgical procedure. Forward Matty Fryatt, who has not played 90 minutes since August resulting from an Achilles injury, is expected to start out in tandem with George Boyd.
Cardiff striker Nicky Maynard looks set to return to the matchday squad after eight months within the sidelines. Ad units Bristol City man suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament just three games into his career while using the Bluebirds and has now watched from your stands as Malky Mackay's guys have clinched automatic promotion.
Following his resume fitness, Mackay says he'll include the 26-year-old among his substitutes and will look to give the forward some game time from the Tigers. Hmo's Watford boss, to know victory at the KC Stadium has to be huge boost to his former employee's automatic promotion hopes, will field his strongest side all over again.
Fraizer Campbell, that has missed Cardiff's last five games with a shin injury, is all-around returning but captain Mark Hudson will lose out all over again in what's going to be City's farewell to your division before life as a Barclays Premier League side begins.
