Hull City have received a significant boost ahead of their upcoming fixtures, with a number of key players set to return from injury. Manager Ruben Selles will be pleased to welcome back Steven Alzate, Gustavo Puerta, Ryan Longman, and Fin Burns, who have all recovered in time for Saturday’s trip to Millwall.
However, Matty Jacob’s availability remains uncertain as he continues to be assessed due to a hip issue. The news is positive for Hull, particularly given the busy schedule that lies ahead. In addition to the Millwall match, the Tigers will play two more games in quick succession, with a home fixture against QPR scheduled for Tuesday night before they travel to Sheffield United next Friday.
Despite the returns, Hull City will still be missing several long-term absentees. Kasey Palmer, Charlie Hughes, Dogukan Sinik, Liam Millar, and Mohamed Belloumi remain sidelined, while Oscar Zambrano is unavailable due to suspension. These absences will test the depth of Selles’ squad, but the availability of key players is undoubtedly a welcome development.
The upcoming week promises to be a challenging one for Hull, with three tough matches in a short period. Saturday’s game against Millwall will be a crucial test as they aim to continue building momentum in the Championship. After a strong start to the season, the Tigers will be hoping to maintain their position in the top half of the table, and the return of several important players will give them the best chance to do so.
Manager Selles has been vocal about his desire to maintain consistency and depth throughout the season, and with these injury boosts, he will be confident that his side can cope with the demanding schedule. Hull’s performance in these next few matches will be vital in setting the tone for the rest of the campaign.
