Last updated : 28 September 2019 By Michael Morris

Hull City are still missing full-back Callum Elder and midfielder Jon Toral for the visit of Cardiff City.

New striker Norbert Balogh could make his debut after playing in a behind-closed-doors game this week, while George Honeyman could be recalled.

Glatzel back in contention

Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock will hope to have Robert Glatzel available after the striker missed last week's win over Middlesbrough.

But Isaac Vassell has been ruled out for two months with a torn quadricep.

Warnock said of Hull City "(They are) Well organised. Probably the best two widemen in the league. Most would want those two if they could afford them. And they’ve got midfield players who can score. Who knows what’s around the corner? You can go to the bottom of the league and get beat and the top of the league and win."
