Steve Bruce has confirmed that Nick Powell will make his Hull City debut during Saturday's FA Cup tie away at Arsenal.

The attacking midfielder arrived at the KC Stadium on a six-month loan deal earlier this month, but he is yet to feature for the Tigers due to injury.

However, having returned to training, Bruce has informed the 21-year-old that he will turn out against the Gunners.

"To be fair to Nick, he came here with a bit of an injury but he has now trained for ten days," he told the club's official website.

"He'll definitely play on Saturday, as will all of the ones who haven't been playing recently."

Powell's United contract is due to expire at the end of the season.
