Hull City will have forward Mohamed Belloumi available for their Championship match against Wrexham.
The match is on Tuesday.
Belloumi, 23, is returning from a hamstring injury.
He last played in the Tigers’ Boxing Day draw at Sheffield Wednesday.
Belloumi’s Return a ‘Huge Bonus’
Assistant boss Dean Holden is relieved to have Belloumi back.
Holden told BBC Radio Humberside, “He’s a top player and we’ve not had him fit enough for long enough this season.”
Holden added, “He’s been out since Boxing Day and not had a great deal of training so we’ll need to be careful in terms of minutes [we give him] but he’s worked really hard in his rehabilitation and has been wanting to get involved.”
Careful Management of Minutes
Holden said that the club will need to be careful with Belloumi’s minutes.
“We’re getting to the stage of the season where there probably have to be some risks taken but equally we need to mitigate the risk int terms of minutes [for Belloumi], but it’s a huge bonus to have him back around it,” added Holden.
Holden also noted, “He’s looked good in training and certainly if we need him he’ll be there.”
Championship Context
Fifth-placed Hull suffered a second successive league defeat when beaten 3-1 at home by Millwall on Saturday.
They are now only three points above Wrexham, who are sixth.
Dean Holden said, ‘My wife loves me but some people don’t’
