Hull City team news ahead of Championship game against Leicester City

Hull City have doubts over two un-named players before Saturday's Championship visit from leaders Leicester City.

With no game next week because scheduled opponents Coventry City are in FA Cup quarter-final action, then an international break, Saturday represents a last chance to address a run of three consecutive draws before Easter.

"We've got a couple of knocks," said Rosenior. "I wouldn't say doubts, but we have to assess them. I don't want to say who it is because I don't want to give away anything, but we've got a couple of players that are nursing little knocks and niggles, but we'll make a decision on Friday about how we go about it."

Alfie Jones and Jaden Philogene picked up knocks in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Birmingham City, but were both able to complete the game.

Aaron Connolly is available after 90 minutes for the under-21s against Fleetwood Town on Tuesday, proving his fitness after a dead leg.

"I got his stats and his data, he worked really hard," Rosenior said of the striker. "His metrics are telling me he's fit, which is a really good thing and where we need him to be. He trained with us today (Thursday) and he comes into my thinking for the squad on Saturday."
