Hull defender Roland Edge will not be fit for the matches over the busy Christmas period. The 27-year-old is back in training following a badly strained groin which he picked up in late October in the defeat at Burnley.
Tigers manager Peter Taylor told BBC Radio Humberside: "I will not be playing him over the Christmas period.
"He is making good progress in training but he is not in my immediate plans as I am not going to rush him back."
