Hull full-back Andy Robertson is around a fortnight away from fitness, according to head coach Mike Phelan.
The 22-year-old Scotland international has not featured for the Tigers since injuring his calf in the 6-1 defeat by Bournemouth on October 15.
But he has started outdoor training again and should return to the first-team fold next month.
Hull have been short of senior cover on the left side of defence since Robertson was ruled out and handed a debut to 17-year-old Josh Tymon at Sunderland on Saturday.
"Andy is back outside now," said Phelan.
