Hull boss Adkins to field strongest side in season finale
Posted Friday, May 03, 2019 by PA
Hull manager Nigel Adkins has promised to field as strong a team as possible in the final game of the season at home to play-off contenders Bristol City.
Adkins will look for midfielder Markus Henriksen to continue after he recovered from a knock to feature in the 2-2 draw at Swansea.
Defender Reece Burke missed the Swansea game through injury so could come back into contention to face Bristol City.
Forward Fraizer Campbell will look to feature after being an unused substitute at the Liberty Stadium and academy graduates Brandon Fleming and Max Sheaf will hope to make the matchday squad and possibly gain some first-team experience by featuring in the game.
Bristol City manager Lee Johnson has set his sights on finishing with as many points as possible as he knows his side’s play-off hopes depend on Derby’s result against West Brom.
But Johnson will have to do without injury-plagued midfielder Korey Smith, who has been ruled out for at least five months following his latest setback.
Smith spent seven months on the sidelines because of knee ligament damage but is now out for a further five following surgery on his foot to bind the metatarsal bones together after being injured on Good Friday against Reading.
City will be without suspended forward Antoine Semenyo while Callum O’Dowda is set to miss out again after suffering a setback in his recovery from a knee injury.
