Hull City defender Michael Dawson has reportedly recovered from an ankle injury in time to face former club Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The 31-year-old has been out of action for a month after suffering the problem during his side's 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

However, the centre-back is understood to be confident of playing against Spurs at the KC Stadium on Sunday, according to the Evening Standard.

Dawson left Tottenham in the summer following a nine-year spell at White Hart Lane.

Hull are currently in 15th place in the Premier League table, two points clear of the relegation zone.
