Assistant coach Dean Holden says Hull City will be diligent about when to reintegrate Liam Millar into the first team.
The Canadian midfielder, who turns 26 later this month, sustained an ACL injury against Burnley on 23 October 2024 but has returned to training with the Tigers and is in contention for a return to the squad.
City snatched a last-gasp 2-2 draw at Swansea on Saturday to make it five points from five games and welcome Southampton to the MKM Stadium on Saturday (15:00 BST).
Here are some of the key points from Holden’s pre-match interview with BBC Radio Humberside:
-
He expects the same squad for the visit of the Saints as the one which drew at Swansea, as Matt Crooks and Semi Ajayi remain sidelined, though they have returned to rehab on grass.
-
Millar is back in training but “we have to choose which is the right game for him to return in. We have to be diligent.”
-
The club are pleased with the performances of Lewie Coyle and Mo Belloumi since their return from injury.
-
After a cameo off the bench at Swansea, Enis Destan played in an under-21s game against Charlton in midweek and has impressed in training.
-
Holden has loved every second of his time at Hull since joining in the summer. “It’s a fantastic place to work with great people and an exciting squad.”
