HULL City could welcome back John Lundstram into their squad for their Boxing Day trip to struggling Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

Lundstram has missed the last four games with a knee injury he picked up in training just days after returning from a calf injury at Stoke City at the end of November.

The midfielder only played for the final 10 minutes in a fiery end to proceedings, before sustaining his problem ahead of the defeat to Middlesbrough.

The 31-year-old hasn't yet returned to training, and he will be assessed between now and Friday, but his imminent return is a timely boost for boss Sergej Jakirovic going into a busy spell of four games in 10 days over Christmas.
