Hull Weigh Collyer Start for Sheffield United Trip

The head coach is protecting the Manchester United loanee's fitness after a long layoff.

Overview

  • Head coach Sergej Jakirovic has not committed to starting Toby Collyer on Saturday and says the call will hinge on managing his workload.
  • Collyer impressed on his first Hull start in the 0-0 draw with Coventry, putting himself in contention for Bramall Lane.
  • Jakirovic said Collyer cramped after about 65 to 70 minutes and noted the midfielder's last start was in November after roughly 14 weeks out at West Brom.
  • Collyer says he feels ready to play at Sheffield United if selected and believes he has earned the chance through recent training.
  • Hull stayed in the Championship play-off places with a four-point cushion after Monday's point, raising the stakes on selection as they chase promotion.
