HULL City manager Sergej Jakirovic was toasting the return of another body to his squad this week with the hope things will ease further in the coming days as a long injury list gets shorter.

Having been able to call upon Oli McBurnie, Liam Millar and Mo Belloumi once again this week with all three featuring against Wrexham on Wednesday night, Jakirovic has now welcomed back Codey Drameh to the first team squad after a couple of weeks on the sidelines.

With the likes of Joe Gelhardt, John Lundstram, Kasey Palmer and Eliot Matazo still sidelined, City's injury woes have not disappeared by any stretch, but what was a long list is now getting smaller each week with Drameh's return another positive step forward.
