In the midst of new Delap and Connolly injury bulletins, Hull City receives a huge sensational ace boost for Millwall.

Hull City are back in action this weekend with Millwall visiting the MKM Stadium

Hull City will welcome Jaden Philogene back into their squad for this weekend’s game with Millwall as the influential winger returns from an eight-game layoff.

Philogene limped out of the 2-0 defeat at QPR in early December, with his absence keenly felt by boss Liam Rosenior but his return to full fitness is a welcome boost, particularly with Aaron Connolly and Liam Delap still sidelined.

Boss Rosenior will also be able to call upon his flurry of late transfer window signings, all of whom will be involved at the MKM Stadium with City returning to action after two weeks.

Ryan Giles, Noah Ohio, Abdulkadir Omur and Anass Zaroury are all fit and available for selection, joining the three earlier January arrivals Billy Sharp, Fabio Carvalho and goalkeeper Ivor Pandur.

Giles and Zaroury are almost certain to be handed first starts for the Tigers, while Ohio, Abdulkadir and Pandur are likely to be on the bench for the visit of the Lions, who sit in 16th place in the Championship.

“He’s available, we’ll see,” Rosenior said when quizzed on Philogene’s return to the starting line-up, before going on to explain more about Connolly’s situation which has seen him out of action since being poleaxed by Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn earlier this month.

“He’s running. We just need to take it day by day with his shoulder, it’s an improving picture all the time,” Rosenior continued. “His concussion has completely stopped. Now he’s back to normal being annoying basically. He was really, really mellow when he was concussed, so I was a bit worried about him, now he’s back to being angry and horrible again.
