Hughes, Millar, Zambrano, Belloumi - complete list of Hull City absentees for Middlesbrough clash

Hull City's attention now turns to Saturday's trip up to Middlesbrough after Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday at the MKM Stadium.

While City have struggled on the pitch in the opening weeks of the season, off the pitch, they have been rocked by a flurry of injury troubles since pre-season when Ryan Longman dislocated his shoulder which then required surgery during the final outing of the summer at Reading.

Those problems have continued with numerous players picking up injuries of varying severity and ahead of that visit to the Riverside Stadium this weekend to round off November, we've put together a list of those players unavailable to caretaker boss Andy Dawson.
