Hull City Injury Updates: Key Players Return Ahead of Crucial Easter Weekend Match Hull City will return to Championship action after a two-week break, bolstered by the return of two key players in time for Friday’s trip to Oxford United, marking the start of a pivotal Easter weekend. Lewie Coyle and Charlie Hughes, who missed the previous match against Sheffield Wednesday due to injury and suspension respectively, are expected to rejoin the squad for the fixture. Coyle, the team captain, had been nursing an ankle injury and was named on the bench against the Owls but will be available for the Kassam Stadium clash. Hughes, who served a one-match ban for his dismissal at West Brom, is also set to feature. However, Regan Slater, the influential midfielder, will miss the game after aggravating an ankle injury, with a potential six-week absence. Despite the setbacks, the squad will welcome back Paddy McNair and Semi Ajayi, who returned from international duty with minor injuries but have since trained and are ready to contribute. Amir Hadziahmetovic, Lewis Koumas, Liam Millar, and Ivor Pandur are also expected to play, though they have faced busy international schedules. Pandur, Millar, and Hadziahmetovic have already returned to London and will join the team at the hotel on Thursday evening. Hadziahmetovic, in particular, received an extra day to celebrate Bosnia and Herzegovina’s World Cup play-off victory over Italy, with over 100,000 fans gathering in Sarajevo to mark the historic moment. The team will still be without several players, including Ryan Giles, Matty Jacob, Eliot Matazo, Yu Hirakawa, Darko Gyabi, and Akin Famewo for the Good Friday match. However, Gyabi and Jacob are nearing first-team training, while Giles is expected to return against Birmingham City later in April.#hull_city #lewie_coyle #charlie_hughes #regan_slater #amir_hadziahmetovic
