McCann hoping to have Jones back available
Grant McCann is hoping to have Alfie Jones back available for tomorrow’s trip to Wigan Athletic.
The 23-year-old has missed Hull City’s last four matches with a hamstring injury sustained in the 1-0 victory over Swindon Town at the end of January.
But the versatile ex-Southampton man is now nearing a return to first-team action, with Tom Eaves and Gavin Whyte also on the mend.
“Hopefully we’ll have Alfie back with us on Wednesday,” said the Tigers’ Head Coach.
“Tom Eaves and Gavin Whyte aren’t too far away either, probably two weeks for them.
“Once we start getting players back, there’s more competition, there’s more options (on the bench) to try and get us the points in games when we need to.”
