The Tigers have concerns over the fitness of George Boateng and Andy Dawson ahead of Wednesday night's game at Blackburn.

Boateng pulled up with cramp towards the end of Saturday's win against Manchester City and is rated 50-50 for the Ewood Park clash by manager Phil Brown while Dawson is also a doubt for the game.

"George went down with a little bit of cramp on Saturday which caused us concern," said Brown.

"He hasn't done anything for two or three days, so we're not sure on that one yet. He is probably 50-50 and it's the same with Andy Dawson."

Geovanni is definitely ruled out of the Blackburn game. The Brazilian is in Portugal seeking a second opinion on a knee problem, although Brown is hopeful of having him available for the game at West Ham a week on Saturday.
