dailyloe.com – Hull City will face Oxford United this Good Friday, boosted by the return of two key players from injury and suspension. The Championship clash comes after a two-week international break. This match is the first of two pivotal games over the Easter weekend.
Defender Lewie Coyle and Charlie Hughes are both set to return to the squad. Coyle missed the last game with an ankle injury, while Hughes served a one-match suspension. Their return provides a significant lift for the team’s defensive options.
However, midfielder Regan Slater will be absent for about a month. He aggravated an ankle injury in the previous match against Sheffield Wednesday. This was confirmed by manager Sergej Jakirovic.
Several players have returned from international duty with minor issues. Paddy McNair and Semi Ajayi have both been able to train this week. They are expected to be available for selection against Oxford.
Other internationals like Amir Hadziahmetovic are also set to feature. Hadziahmetovic was given an extra day off after Bosnia’s World Cup play-off win. Over 100,000 fans celebrated that victory in Sarajevo on Wednesday.
The team will travel to face a struggling Oxford United side. This match is crucial for Hull City’s ambitions in the Championship table. A positive result could provide vital momentum for the final stretch of the season.[]
