Hull have had to postpone Friday night's Under 23s game against Leeds as they were unable to field enough players.

The Championship side are understood to have cited a combination of injuries, an FA Youth Cup game against Bournemouth and the need to use some young players in the first-team.

They informed the Premier League and ran through their unavailability with the organisation, who believed they were unable to pull together a squad for Friday's game.
