Palace v Hull - Team news preview

Last updated : 09 September 2005 By Nik Taylor

Palace are likely to be missing Mikele Leigertwood and Jobi McAnuff for tomorrow’s visit of Hull City.

The pair have picked up ankle injuries that, while not serious, are not expected to clear up in time for them to play against the Tigers.

Dougie Freedman is also ruled out with a hamstring injury, though all Palace’s international stars returned to Selhurst Park unscathed.

Hull have a number of injury problems. Skipper Ian Ashbee has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a fractured kneecap.

Keith Andrews, Mark Lynch, Alton Thelwell and Robie Stockdale are additional injury concerns for Hull, who also miss Marc Joseph due to suspension.

City signed Chris Brown on loan from Sunderland this week, and are expected to include the striker in their squad.

Probable Palace XI:

Kiraly
Boyce Hall Ward Granville
Watson Hughes Riihilahti Soares
Johnson Macken
