MANNONE INJURED

Hull City goalkeeper Vito Mannone is most likely going to be out for the remainder of the season due to a thigh injury.

The 23-year-old Arsenal loanee was expected to be out for a month following the recurrence of the injury against Nottingham Forest in March.

Tigers boss Nigel Pearson told BBC Radio Humberside: "I don't expect to see him back this season because it's slow progress.

"He's concerned it's a re-occurring injury so we may not see him again."

The Italy Under-21 international first picked up the injury against Reading in December and only made his return in the match at the City Ground where the problem flared up again.
