Hull already are without no.1 keeper Allan McGregor so 30-year-old Bosnian shot-stopper Eldin Jakupovic will have to continue between the sticks for Steve Bruce’s side against Liverpool.
Bruce may be hoping that Jelavic is back to full fitness before then, but it is highly unlikely that Harper and Dawson will be back in action any time soon.
