Hull boss McCann boosted by return of trio for Swansea clash
Posted Friday, February 14, 2020 by PA
Hull boss Grant McCann has received a rare injury boost with three of his squad returning to training ahead of the Sky Bet Championship clash against Swansea.
Defenders Ryan Tafazolli and Matthew Pennington and midfielder Kevin Stewart were among 12 players who missed the defeat to Blackburn on Tuesday but they are all in contention to return.
That news will come as a welcome relief for McCann, who this week discovered Eric Lichaj and Herbie Kane are expected to miss the remainder of the season with ankle ligament injuries.
Jon Toral is back in training but the match comes too soon for him, while Jordy de Wijs, Reece Burke, Martin Samuelsen and Angus MacDonald will be back in training next week, with Josh Bowler and James Scott still out.
Swansea boss Steve Cooper suffered a blow this week with the news that George Byers will miss the rest of the season.
The midfielder suffered a high ankle sprain in last weekend’s home defeat to Derby and now faces three months on the sidelines.
The Swans will again be without defender Mike Van Der Hoorn, who is due to start training again next week after a knee injury.
Cooper has no fresh injury worries.
