Impact Hughes remains unavailable but is progressing after the specialist initially estimated a six-week recovery period for the pubic bone issue. The defender is now working individually on the pitch and could rejoin the group within the next two weeks, though Hull is taking a cautious approach given the possibility of recurring discomfort. A return to team training during the international break would represent the next major step toward his competitive return.

Facing up to seven weeks out Hughes (groin) is expected to remain sidelined for a maximum of seven weeks following specialist advice on his injury, according to coach Sergej Jakirovic.

Impact Hughes' visit to a specialist has provided a clearer timetable after his groin problem lingered following offseason surgery. The defender is expected to return next month if his rehabilitation progresses as planned, meaning Saturday's clash against Aston Villa will come far too soon.

Impact Hughes underwent surgery in the offseason, and while there aren't reports of a setback, this trip to see a specialist on the verge of the new season suggests a return to the pitch isn't imminent.

Impact Hughes looks to be out for the start of the season after receiving surgery this offseason, with the defender operating on a double hernia and aggravating the injury recently. This will leave the Tigers without a useful option in the defense and a likely starter, as he started in 39 of his 41 appearances in their promotion campaign. If this is the case for the start of the season, John Egan, Semi Ajayi and Paddy McNair will likely be the center-backs starting in the three-back system to begin the season.
