Brown hopeful of Geovanni action

Phil Brown is hoping Geovanni will play some part in Hull's friendly double-header despite missing the pre-season training camp in Italy.

The Tigers play North Ferriby and Winterton over the weekend and Geovanni is in the reckoning having trained alone while the rest of the squad were in Bormio.
Brown told the Hull Daily Mail: "I'm hoping that Geo will be able to play some part this weekend.

"We'll have a look at the levels of fitness of Geo, assess it, and if that is positive, then he'll play some part in the Ferriby or Winterton games."
