In one of his latest press conferences, Hull City boss McCann confirmed that it was deliberate that Tom Huddlestone has not started games since his return from a hamstring injury.

Huddlestone spent one year without a club before he signed for Hull City as a free agent at the start of this season for his second spell with the Tigers. The midfielder has had two separate spells on the sidelines due to injury since signing for the Tigers this summer. The second spell ended when he came off the bench during the win at Cardiff City at the end of last month. The 34-year-old has been an unused substitute since the Cardiff City game.

In the end, the Tigers could not meet the target of five wins in six league games after they shared a four-goal thriller against their opponents.
