Rovers return for Rushian Hepburn-Murphy

Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is available for Tranmere as they prepare to host Hull in the Carabao Cup.

The forward was sent off in Rovers’ defeat against Rochdale on the opening day of the season but his three-match ban only sees him miss Sky Bet League One matches.

Jake Caprice, (ankle) Mark Ellis, (knee), Evan Gumbs (anterior cruciate ligament) and Ishmael Miller (hamstring) all missed the defeat at Portsmouth on Saturday through injury and remain on the sidelines.

Tranmere have not won a tie in the League Cup since overcoming Mansfield in the first round in 2013.

Hull manager Grant McCann is expected to make several changes to his team.

Matt Ingram is likely to get a chance to impress in goal, replacing George Long who has started both Championship games so far this season.

McCann might also try a new centre-back pairing of Ryan Tafazolli and Matthew Pennington against Rovers.

Jarrod Bowen will probably be given the night off with Hull set to travel to Brentford in the league at the weekend.
