Hull City's Jacob Back for Treatment Amid Injury Woes

Hull City's Matty Jacob has returned to the club for ongoing treatment of a significant knee injury. The 24-year-old left-back had been on a season-long loan with Reading since the summer. His time at the Select Car Leasing Stadium concluded early after he sustained the injury during an FA Cup match in November.

During his spell with Reading, Jacob featured in 16 matches across all competitions, completing 90 minutes in 10 League One fixtures. His return to Hull City for rehabilitation highlights the team's current defensive challenges. The club is managing the impact of his absence.

The Tigers are currently grappling with multiple defensive injuries. They are also without key left wing-back Ryan Giles, who suffered a hamstring injury. This absence meant Giles missed their recent 1-0 loss against Stoke City on New Year's Day, compounding Hull City's squad issues.
