A knee injury of the worst kind for Justin Kluivert
78 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hull City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Not going: Nobel Mendy stays at Hull City
“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Huddersfield Town had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Iqraam Rayners hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hull City can pretend not to have heard.

26 days out for Reuben Silk after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Hull City will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Hull City say no — this time
The offer from Wigan Athletic for Liam Millar was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Thimothée Lo-Tutala moves on
Wrexham pay $4.7M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Kostantis Tzolakis signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kostantis Tzolakis commits to Hull City for another 5 years.

The wait goes on for Hull City
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
In brief
- Squad A falling-out at Hull City
- Match Hull City come up short against Chelsea
- Transfer targets Door shut on Diogo Dalot
