Hull City assistant manager Dean Holden has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Carabao Cup game against Stoke City at bet365 Stadium (kick-off 19:45 BST). Holden said Nobel Mendy, Semi Ajayi and Lewie Coyle, who were forced off against Manchester United, had cramp so it's "not as bad as first feared". Summer signing Hidemasa Morita "will get some minutes" after recovering from injury and there are expected to be several changes to the starting XI.
