Hull City boss admits âproblemsâ ahead of final day showdown
Sergej Jakirovic admits Hull City are facing issues in the midfield department ahead of the final game of the Championship season.
Hull lost Eliot Matazo to another ACL injury last week, his second having only recently returned from his previous one.
But boss Jakirovic insists his comeback was not rushed.
âEliot Matazo is in London. I think he will have surgery next Tuesday or Wednesday,â the City boss told Hull Live. âUnfortunately, I saw in the public that there are a lot of questions because (they think) we rushed with him. This is not true, so we spoke with him all the time, with the medical staff.
âHe trained with us for almost four weeks. Everything was okay. My decision was that itâs better to start in the game because if something happens like now, of course not ACL, but hamstring, quad, groin, we can replace or split the minutes with Regan Slater.
âThat was the main issue. We have problems in the midfield line because of Amir (HadĆŸiahmetoviÄ) and Toby Collyerâs injuries.
âDarko Gyabi has also come back after 12 weeks off the pitch, so if somebody doesnât know, we have a lot of problems with midfield players.
âWe always try to do the best, make the best decision for the team that can help the team. Unfortunately, itâs his right knee, itâs very unhappy for me, but of course, life goes on, and we will do everything to help Eliott come back even stronger.â
Hull sit level on points with Wrexham, who occupy the final play-off spot, going into their final game Norwich City.
