Hull City will end 2024 with a host of injury concerns going into the New Year. Some players will be back sooner rather than later. Others face a longer spell on the sidelines.

City have been hit by a flurry of major injuries in recent weeks with the likes of key summer signings Liam Millar and Mohamed Belloumi out for the season.

New head coach Ruben Selles hasn't seen things improve either, with the Spaniard hit by another bunch of injuries which will have come as a major blow.
