Town boss Roy Keane has confirmed that Luke Hyam and Mark Kennedy will miss Saturday’s trip to Hull City with the hamstring injuries they sustained during the 3-1 defeat to Barnsley at the weekend. The Blues will also be without skipper David Norris and central defensive linchpin Gareth McAuley at the KC Stadium.
Keane told the club site: "Luke damaged his hamstring but the boy showed a good side to him by staying out on the park. We're going to be without him against Hull though and it's the same with Mark Kennedy.
"It looks like we will be missing Chuck and Gareth for that game as well, so things are going against us at the moment, but we have to get on with it."
Norris has an ankle problem, which he sustained in the Millwall match, while McAuley has achilles tendinitis, which needs rest and is likely to be out for a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, defender Damien Delaney, who spent six years at Hull, says the squad are determined to bounce back against his old club: "We were all disappointed after the Barnsley game but it's no good worrying about it, we have to do something about it.
"I had a sleepless night analysing the game, probably over-analysing it, but you start a new week and get on with it.
"In sport, like in life, you are going to have ups and downs. It's how you deal with the disappointments that count and for us, that means going to Hull and putting on a hell of a better display than we gave against Barnsley."
