Two Tigers back in action

Hull manager Nick Barmby is hoping to add midfield pair Robert Koren and Tom Cairney to his squad for the npower Championship clash at West Ham.

Koren, voted player of the year by Hull fans this week, was forced out of last weekend's win over Nottingham Forest after taking a knock, but is expected to return to full training in time. Cairney missed out against Forest with heavy bruising to his leg, but will also be back in contention. Skipper Jack Hobbs (knee), fellow defender Joe Dudgeon and striker Aaron McLean (both hamstring) remain sidelined, but Barmby has no other new injury or suspension worries. Wingers Josh King and Robbie Brady are both hoping for recalls after stepping off the bench last week, while midfielder Seyi Olofinjana, who last appeared as a late substitute in the win over Middlesbrough earlier this month, will be hoping for a rare run out in the Tigers' last match of the season.
