Cooper returns for the Lions
HULL City will be looking to make it four wins on the bounce when they host Millwall today.
The Tigers have seen a major upturn in form in recent weeks, with consecutive clean-sheet victories over Barnsley, Birmingham and Cardiff City that followed a run of just one victory in 15 matches.
Their recent nine-point haul has seen them climb out of the bottom three and into
19th place ahead of a difficult-looking clash with the Lions.
Millwall currently sit 10th in the Championship, just four points off the play-off positions, having lost just two of their previous 15 league games.
Manager Gary Rowett is set to welcome back key centreback Jake Cooper to his squad for their trip to East Yorkshire
Cooper missed the midweek draw with Bournemouth due to suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Middlesbrough last weekend.
One of Rowett’s two injury concerns is midfielder Ryan Leonard. Leonard sat out the
Lions’ match against the Cherries after feeling some pain in his ankle shortly before the clash at the Den.
The 29-year-old will undergo a scan to discover the extent of the injury, although it remains to be seen how serious it is and whether he will feature against the Tigers.
Winger Conor Mahoney is a definite absentee, though, after he aggravated an injury to his left hamstring in an Under-23s match with Ipswich Town earlier this week.
Mahoney had been closing in on a return to firstteam action after initially picking up the injury against Nottingham Forest in late September.
However, the 24-year-old now looks set to miss the next few weeks after suffering a muscle strain on the same hamstring.
Meanwhile, City boss Mccann has no new fresh injury concerns.
Callum Elder is in contention despite being forced off in firsthalf injury time after a clash with Kieffer Moore, while Di’shon Bernard is available once again after serving a one-match ban.
