Hull City suffers triple injury blow ahead of Sunderland visit; Tim Walter offers full update. Hull City and Sunderland both have injury concerns for this weekend’s encounter. Hull City suffered a quadruple injury blow before Sunderland’s visit last Saturday. Attacking midfielder Abdus Omur sustained an injury during Hull City’s 4-0 defeat to Norwich City in the last game before the international break, and manager Tim Walter has revealed that, while he is close to full fitness, he will not play on Sunday.
Hull City will also be missing goalkeeper Carl Rushworth and midfielder Steven Alzate, both of whom sustained injuries in the buildup to Sunday’s encounter. Winger Dogukan Sinik could be called to the matchday squad for the first time this season after returning from injury and appearing in a friendly in Turkey over the international break, though his involvement will most likely be limited.
“Today was the first day for Abdus, though he was out with us at the training camp in Turkey,” Walter informed us.” “On Sunday, it is not possible. Carl [Rushworth] sustained two injuries today and will require an MRI scan. Steven Alzate will also get an MRI scan for a calf ailment, and we will see what occurs. [Sinik] had his first minutes on the pitch, and he was overjoyed. He was very pleasant and open at the training camp, and everyone tried to support him, so it was a fantastic experience. He now has to improve.
You can’t say whether now is the perfect time or in a few weeks; he needs to improve because he hasn’t played in a long time. We tried to help him, but now he’s open, and he’s at the point where we can work with him, which is excellent.” Neither Rushworth nor Alzate have been first-choices for Walter this season, with the latter serving as an impact substitute as he works on match fitness following his free agent arrival. Walter believes his squad has enough depth to handle the situation.
Walter stated: “That’s how it is, and that’s why we need a large squad, and we’re talking about good quality in the squad because everyone can be one of the starting eleven. That is why we have a large squad.” Ryan Longman, a striker, is still out due to a long-term shoulder ailment, as are young goalkeepers Thimothee Lo-Tutala, Harvey Cartwright, and defender Andy Smith.
