Hull manager Grant McCann is looking to build on their shock Carabao Cup win at Leeds when returning to League One action against Crewe.

The Tigers shocked the Premier League new boys by triumphing on penalties, having impressed as the match at Elland Road ended in a 1-1 draw.

Hull target man Tom Eaves remains out this week with an ankle injury sustained in the first round of the Carabao Cup.

Last season’s first-choice goalkeeper George Long is closing in on a return after missing the start of the campaign through an injury of his own.

Crewe midfielder Tom Lowery has made his long-awaited return to full training ahead of the trip to the KCOM Stadium.

The 22-year-old has not featured since January and underwent hernia surgery.

Crewe manager David Artell vowed not to rush Lowery back ahead of Saturday’s trip to Hull.

Mikael Mandron made his league debut for the club in last weekend’s 2-0 loss at Charlton and should continue in attack.
