Sebastian Larsson could make Hull debut against Burton
Posted Wednesday, August 16, 2017 by PA
Hull's latest signing Sebastian Larsson could make his debut for the club in the home game against Burton.
Larsson, released by Sunderland earlier this summer, signed a one-year deal this week and is expected to go straight into the squad.
Fellow summer signing Kevin Stewart remains doubtful due to the ankle injury which kept him out of the opening-day draw at Aston Villa and may have to wait longer for his debut.
Midfielder Evandro missed out last week with a hamstring problem sustained in pre-season and could be sidelined until next month and goalkeeper David Marshall (ankle) is still out.
Burton boss Nigel Clough will make several changes as Albion revert back to Championship action.
Clough swapped eight players for the EFL Cup tie at Oldham in midweek and the likes of Stephen Bywater, Jake Buxton, Stephen Warnock, Marvin Sordell, Luke Murphy and Jackson Irvine are all expected to be restored to the team.
Striker Luke Varney will hope to have forced his way into Clough plans after scoring in Wednesday's win at Boundary Park.
Lloyd Dyer will be assessed after sustaining a thigh injury against Cardiff last weekend while Tom Flanagan has returned to the club but the defender is lacking fitness and is unlikely to be involved.
