John Egan - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Withdrawn following difficult first half Egan had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Ipswich Town.

Impact Egan endured a difficult opening period as Hull struggled to contain Ipswich's attacking movement, with the visitors repeatedly finding space around the defensive line before Florentino Luis opened the scoring. The center-back offered limited defensive resistance during his 45-minute appearance, although he managed an off-target attempt before Hull adjusted its approach at halftime. Egan was replaced by Matt Crooks during the interval, and the tactical adjustment coincided with a significantly improved second-half performance that briefly put Hull ahead.

Strong defensive numbers Egan is averaging 7.0 clearances per game in seven starts in the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Impact Egan has started every game at Hull City's back and has played the full 90 in almost every game but one -- the Sept. 19 match against Newcastle, where he logged 78 minutes. The center-back has 42 clearances, nine tackles, seven interceptions and seven blocked shots.

10 clearances in 90 minutes Egan generated two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.

Impact Egan was a slight doubt for the trip to Stamford Bridge after picking up a lower leg issue in a collision during Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat to Sunderland, but he went straight back into the side and saw out another full 90 minutes. Hull's run of clean sheets came to an end against Chelsea, though the defender put in a solid shift with two tackles (one won), two interceptions and a block, and he reached double figures for clearances for the third time with 10. He offered something at the other end too, registering his first two shots of the campaign.

Starting in return Egan (ankle) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Chelsea.

Impact Egan was confirmed fit by manager Sergej Jakirovic after any concerns surrounding the ankle issue were put to rest, earning a starting role for the fourth consecutive match of the season. The center-back has gone the full 90 minutes in each of his three Premier League starts this campaign, and his availability is a relief for Hull heading into a tough fixture against Chelsea. He has notched 28 clearances, five tackles and four interceptions across those three appearances, making his continued presence in the back line an important factor for the club.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Saturday Egan (ankle) will be available for Saturday's game against Chelsea, according to manager Sergej Jakirovic. "Egan is OK, everything is good."

Impact Egan has gone the full 90 in his three EPL starts this season, and based on Jakirovic's words, he should be available and ready to play this weekend as well. The center-back has notched 28 clearances, five tackles and four interceptions in those three appearances.

Picks up lower leg issue Egan picked up a lower leg issue following a collision during Tuesday's Carabao Cup defeat to Sunderland, according to coach Sergej Jakirovic, per Hull Live. "Yeah, he had a blast...

Impact Egan was able to complete the match despite appearing uncomfortable following the second-half collision, and he will undergo further assessment to determine the extent of the issue. The defender has been a key part of Hull's back line, playing every minute of the club's opening three Premier League matches this season. Any absence would therefore represent a notable loss, with Lucas Herrington and Paddy McNair among the options who could see increased minutes at center-back.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Strong display in another shutout Egan had three tackles (zero won), one clearance and two interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Aston Villa.

Impact Egan came through another evening without conceding as Hull made it three clean sheets from three. He put in three tackles, two interceptions, a clearance and a blocked shot against Villa in a strong defensive showing, and the centre back is now up to five tackles, four interceptions and four blocked shots for the season. The single clearance was the one dip in his numbers after he had racked up 27 of them in the first two games.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Signs new contract with Tigers Egan signed a new contract with Hull City until the end of the 2027/28 season Thursday. The deal includes an option to extend it for a further year.

Impact The Tigers are doing all they can to keep their best players at the club for years to come, with Egan being the second player to sign a contract extension Thursday after Matt Crooks (quadriceps). Egan has started both Hull City matches so far in the 2026/27 EPL campaign, notching 27 clearances and helping the Tigers keep back-to-back clean sheets. If healthy, he should remain a regular in Hull City's defensive line.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Dominates with 10 clearances Egan registered one tackle (one won), 10 clearances and two interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 win over Coventry City.

Impact Egan was the central figure in another strong defensive display, producing a match-high 10 clearances, two interceptions and one successful tackle across the full 90 minutes. His positioning and ability to deal with pressure were particularly important as Coventry pushed forward during the second half. Egan's experience and defensive reading should make him a key figure in Hull's back line throughout their Premier League campaign.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Starts final friendly against Nice Egan (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's final friendly against Nice, the club posted.

Impact Egan had missed the previous friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt with an ankle issue, a precaution taken by manager Sergej Jakirovic after discomfort followed a kick sustained against Kasimpasa. His return to the starting XI confirms he has recovered in time, easing some of the defensive concerns for a Hull side already managing injuries to Charlie Hughes and possibly Paddy McNair ahead of the Premier League opener.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Misses preseason trip Egan missed the recent friendly match against Eintracht Frankfurt due to an ankle issue, Barry Cooper of the Hull Daily Mail reported Saturday.

Impact Egan has been a regular member of the team's back line during the offseason period, but he's now at risk of being ruled out for the Premier League opener if he continues to deal with discomfort. This news adds to a number of injury problems for the newly promoted side, who are already without Charlie Hughes (groin) and possibly Paddy McNair (knee) in defense, so Semi Ajayi could now become the safest center-back option at the start of the season. However, Egan's precise status remains unclear for the time being.

Season in doubt Egan (calf) is a doubt to return before the end of the season, according to manager Chris Wilder."If John gets back for the end of the season he'll have done remarkably well but he...

Impact Egan is working his way back from a serious calf issue that required two surgeries, so any sort of return would be a surprise. Still the hope for Egan will be at least a return to training before the end of the Premier League.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes calf surgery Egan recently underwent surgery on his calf and will be out for the foreseeable future.

Impact Egan was already labeled as out "an extended period" a couple weeks ago and now it's been made known that he underwent surgery. The veteran started six of the first eight league matches this season and will be missed, as Chris Basham suffered a nasty injury of his own. Newcomer Auston Trusty expects to see some extended run in the coming months unless Paul Heckingbottom opts to change formations.

Out extended period Egan will be out an extended period after suffering a calf injury over the weekend, according to manager Paul Heckingbottom. "He's going to be out for a while. He'll see a speciali...

Impact It's not a great update for Egan, who is set to miss months with the injury. The specialist will likely decide if some kind of surgery is required, but it's looking like a multi-month absence for Egan. Given recent results, this isn't great news for the Blades, as Egan has been a team leader since joining five years ago. Chris Basham figures to start in his place, though Auston Trusty is also someone who could see extended run.

Goes down injured Egan suffered an apparent calf injury in Saturday's matchup against West Ham United,

Impact Egan limped off in the second half of Saturday's game against West Ham United, but further tests will be needed to assess the severity of the injury. The skipper recently returned from another injury, so this is not a great sign for fantasy managers who have him rostered. Egan should be considered doubtful to face Fulham next Saturday.

Impact Egan is back available after picking up a knock on international duty. It's a major boon for the club as Egan will likely slot straight back into the starting XI and play a significant role in the back line.

Impact Egan joined Ireland during the break despite suffering an ankle injury versus Everton on Sept. 2 and appeared to be back to 100 percent, going the full 90 minutes against France. Egan, however, was subbed out in the 73rd minute of Ireland's meeting with the Netherlands due to his undisclosed injury. Chris Basham could be in line to start for Egan if the central defender can't play against Tottenham.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts against the Netherlands Egan (ankle) got the start during Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Netherlands.

Impact Egan returned to the starting XI after picking up a minor ankle issue against Everton. A return to first team action means Egan should be set to get straight back out on the pitch against Tottenham on Sept. 16 when back with Sheffield.

Impact Egan was called up to the Ireland national team and more information on his injury should be revealed in the coming week. He'd started the first four league matches and doesn't expect to lose that role this season. Based off early comments, this doesn't seem like a serious injury for the center-back.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Six clearances in loss Egan recorded six clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Manchester City. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 83rd minute.

Impact Egan was shown his first yellow card of the season Saturday as he was booked in the 83rd minute for a bad foul. He also made six clearances, which brings him up to 19 total in the first three matches of the season. Egan intercepted two passes and blocked one shot as well in his full 90 minutes of action.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs double-digit clearances in loss Egan had one off-target shot and made one tackle, 11 clearances, two interceptions and one block during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace.

Impact Egan tried his best to stop an opposing offense that kept striking during the entire contest and at least was able to put up some nice individual numbers as his 11 clearances put him atop all EPL players for the category. The Blades will probably be underdogs several times this season, especially when they play away for home, so we could expect Egan having lots of opportunities to showcase his skills and help fantasy teams.
