Geovanni and Boaz Myhill will miss Sunday's Barclays Premier League clash against Stoke at the KC Stadium.
Geovanni is suspended after his red card at Burnley last week while goalkeeper Myhill is still troubled by a knee injury.
Record signing Jimmy Bullard is included in the squad and could make his long-awaited home debut. The £5million midfielder has missed two games with a shin problem since returning from a nine-month knee injury lay-off.
Craig Fagan could be recalled after being overlooked for five games while Ian Ashbee (knee) is the club's only other significant absentee.
Andy Wilkinson will be hoping to have done enough to keep Robert Huth out of the Stoke side.
Huth returns to the Potters squad after serving a three-match suspension, but Wilkinson has impressed at right-back in his place and manager Tony Pulis has a tough decision to make.
Mamady Sidibe has been struggling with a hamstring problem but could be in contention after taking part in training on Friday.
Salif Diao also trained with the squad but remains a doubt due to the calf injury that forced him to miss the match with Wolves last week, while Amdy Faye has a back problem and is unlikely to feature.
Teams:
Hull (from): Duke, McShane, Gardner, Zayatte, Dawson, Marney, Olofinjana, Hunt, Ghilas, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Barmby, Mouyokolo, Mendy, Boateng, Cousin, Halmosi, Garcia, Kilbane, Bullard, Altidore, Fagan, Sonko, Warner.
Stoke (from): Sorensen, Wilkinson, Huth, Shawcross, Ab Faye, Collins, Delap, Whelan, Whitehead, Diao, Etherington, Beattie, Tuncay, Fuller, Higginbotham, Cort, Lawrence, Kitson, Pugh, Simonsen, Sidibe.
