Puel Confirms Injury News Ahead Of Hull City Game

Claude Puel has confirmed who will be fir and who won't be for the trip to Hull City on Sunday afternoon.

Claude Puel has spoken about his squad for the visit to Hull City and the news is that there is nothing new to report, on the good side there is no new injuries from last nights win over Inter Milan, but the bad news is that none of the players missing from the squad through injury in the past couple of weeks are fit enough to be in contention for the trip to Humberside.

"I don't think we will see the squad change for this week, because all the injured players are still unavailable, like Long, Targett, Hesketh and Pied, We don't change the squad.”

The Frenchman hopes the upcoming international break will provide a little more time without missing games for the injured players to get closer to fitness.

On commenting on this question Puel also made reference to the situation with Cedric Soares who has been absent without much information given since his injury at Leicester City almost five weeks ago.

"I hope so, we will see this for example with Soares perhaps he comes back the next week for the training sessions and after, for other players, we will see this."

"The international break is always difficult, because we are going to have many players selected for international games and they cannot recover, but it's a good thing also, because the squad is good, with good players and international players, and for the future this will be important.”
