Joe Gelhardt and Matt Crooks return to training for Hull City

Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic expects forwards Joe Gelhardt and Matt Crooks to be available for the Premier League match against Aston Villa. Gelhardt rejoined the group for full training on Monday, while Crooks has also been training ahead of the September 5 fixture at MKM Stadium. The club holds a perfect record after two matches, following wins against Manchester United and Coventry City. Jakirovic noted that while some players are managing issues following the Coventry fixture, most of the squad's recent signings should be available for selection. The team invested heavily in new talent during the recent transfer window, including the arrival of Nobel Mendy, Konstantinos Tzolakis, and Christos Mouzakitis. Hull City looks to maintain its momentum in this upcoming home match.
