Hull inspirational midfielder Jimmy Bullard should be fit to face Arsenal on Saturday after showing no adverse reaction to his return.
Bullard, who had been out since early December, played for just over an hour at Everton on Sunday.
He has shown no ill effects from that appearance and now is in line to start against the Gunners at the KC Stadium on Saturday.
There had been fears that he was taken off at Everton after suffering a knock but it appears that he was removed as a precaution and he is fit to start at the weekend.
The news will be a major boost to boss Phil Brown as he looks for a win in the battle against the drop from the Premiership.
