Chuba Akpom will certainly miss Hull City’s FA Cup clash against holders Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon, the official website of the Tigers has confirmed.

The England youth international is on a season-long loan at the KC Stadium from the Gunners and is ineligible to face his parent club.

The news will deal a big blow to manager Steve Bruce, with the youngster helping Hull City qualify for the fifth round at the end of last month by notching his first professional hat-trick in the 3-1 victory against Bury.

Meanwhile Anglo-Nigerian pair Sone Aluko and Moses Odubajo are both available for selection.
