Curtis Davies is in contention for Hull City’s home encounter with Swansea City, the Tigers’ head coach Marco Silva has confirmed.
The centre-back has been ruled out since January with a hamstring injury, but Silva is considering him for selection after he trained with the first team on Thursday.
Michael Dawson (calf), Ryan Mason (head), Dieumerci Mbokani (hamstring) and Will Keane (knee) are among those who remain long-term absentees, with no fresh injury concerns.
Swansea head coach Paul Clement says Kyle Naughton will miss the trip to the KCOM Stadium with a minor hamstring injury, while Ki Sung-Yeung and Jefferson Montero could feature.

What the managers say
Marco Silva: “We still have six games at home, and three over the next four weeks. We feel good when we play at home.”
“They play good football and have good players, with one striker in good form, but I have confidence in my players and my squad.”
Paul Clement: “I think Marco has done a very good job at Hull. They are a well-organised side and he has them playing good football.
“They lost at Leicester last weekend, but they probably played them at a bad time compared to when we did a few weeks ago."
