Ireland international returns to Hull for assessment

On-loan Derby County midfielder Kevin Kilbane has returned to parent club Hull City to undergo an assessment on his back injury. Kilbane, who can also play at full-back, has been on loan at Derby since August and has made 10 appearances for Nigel Clough's side. He is due to stay at Pride Park until January, but the 34-year-old has missed the Rams' last three Championship defeats due to a back complaint. The Republic of Ireland international is expected to be sidelined for a few more weeks and has gone back to Hull for treatment on the problem.
