Cisak back on Latics duty

ALEX CISAK was hoping to return to action today after sitting out the game at York.

THREE wins from four friendlies was the broad goal for Athletic today as they took to the road to face Hull City in a closed-doors challenge.

Goalkeeper Alex Cisak didn't play in the freindly against York on Saturday due to a slight foot injury, but travelled with the rest of the squad.

Manager Paul Dickov will again run the rule over triallists in an unchanged squad, as Athletic build match fitness and teamwork against the Championship club.

Athletic's defenders had to be wary of striker Nick Proschwitz.

The German forward, a £2.6million signing from SC Paderborn where he was the second-tier's top scorer last season, made his Hull bow as a substitute on Saturday.

One new face who is likely to play a part for Fleetwood when Athletic play them on Friday is David Ball.

The striker (22), known to Dickov for his time as a youth at Manchester City and on loan at Rochdale, has switched from Championship side Peterborough on a three-year contract.
