Hull head coach Nigel Adkins has confirmed he will stick with Michael Dawson for the home game against Aston Villa.
The City captain received criticism for his performance in the 3-0 defeat at Birmingham before the international break but Adkins has vowed to keep the defender in his starting line-up on Saturday.
Hull had 10 players away with their countries and Adkins will assess them all before finalising his plans.
Moses Odubajo, Stephen Kingsley and Evandro are still not fit while James Weir remains a long-term absentee.
Villa have players returning from injury as they look to get their promotion challenge back on track.
