MAJOR SHOCK IN 11 MINUTES
In the match played last week at Charlton away, Hull City left the field with a 2-1 defeat, and in the 11th minute of the match, Eliot Matazo was injured and had to leave the game. Paddy McNair replaced the 24-year-old player.
SHORT-LIVED RETURN
Matazo, who was away from the team for a long time due to a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee, has now been announced to have torn the cruciate ligaments in his right knee. The club's announcement stated that the young player suffered a serious injury.
WILL MISS MOST OF THE SEASON
It was stated that the Belgian footballer, who returned to the field 424 days after his injury in February 2025, will not be able to play for most of the upcoming season due to his new injury.
STATEMENT FROM THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
Hull City Technical Director Sergej Jakirovic stated that they knew starting Matazo in the first 11 was risky, but this decision was made following discussions with the player and the medical team.
MORALE DAMPENED BEFORE CRITICAL MATCH
Hull City will face Norwich City in the final week of the league. The team, aiming to enter the play-off zone, suffered a major blow with this injury before the critical match.
