Available against Chelsea
McNair (foot) has been cleared to face Chelsea on Saturday after avoiding a significant injury, according to coach Sergej Jakirovic. "Paddy McNair is fine. So, some problems after Sunderland, but nothing special, and they will be available for the game."
Analysis: McNair sat out Tuesday's EFL Cup defeat to Sunderland due to the foot problem, but scans have since ruled out a significant injury. The defender is expected to be available Saturday against Chelsea, though he remains primarily a rotational option in Hull City's back line.
Will train Thursday
McNair (foot) will return to training Thursday after his scan came back clean, according to manager Sergej Jakirovic.
Analysis: McNair didn't play Tuesday against Sunderland, but the clean scan was the best possible outcome for the defender. McNair could be in contention for a role in the squad Saturday against Chelsea, but the defender is merely a depth piece for the Tigers, so he shouldn't carry a ton of fantasy appeal, especially if the other center-backs remain healthy.
