| Daly has been nursing a slight groin problem, did not make the trip to Belfast last weekend for the friendly with Glentoran and miss the midweek run outs at Raith Rovers and Livingston.
But the big Irish striker has resumed training and was with the squad again when they reported for a light session this afternoon before flying down to Humberside this evening.
“It’s only been a minor problem and he looks fine now, so we’re taking him and he should be involved,” said boss Peter Houston.
Lithuanian centre-half Irmantas Zelmikas will start again and after this game a decision on his future will be made.
“It’s not a case of things resting on how he does against Hull and I’ll be keeping in mind what he’s done in other games, but this is a chance to see him against high-quality opposition,” added Houstie.
Notable absentees from the flight south were Danny Swanson and Craig Conway.
Swanson is still not full recovered from an Achilles problem, but is back running and Conway has a groin strain.
On the subject of Conway, despite their signing of Estonian left-winger Tarmo Kink for over £500,000 a move by Middlesbrough to get United’s wide man has not been completely ruled out.
Apart from the initial official note of interest from the north-east club, which was registered almost a fortnight ago, there has been no further contact.
It’s been a case of no news is good news, but Houstie does recognise it’s been an unsettling time for the player.
“I want to keep him, but this has to have been distracting for him.
“One thing I can assure everyone of is the only reason he’s not playing at Hull is injury and nothing else.”
Two United youths have gone out on loan.
Dale Hilson has moved to Forfar for a month and Ryan McCord is at Airdrie until the end of the year. |
