Sadly, Hull City suffers. According to Fabrizio, five players of their starting eleven are sidelined for four months during this pre-season because of……

Forgotten man Dogukan Sinik will head to Germany next month in a bid to overcome the injury troubles that have blighted his Hull City career so far.

Sinik was a £4m signing when he arrived from Turkish Super Lig side Antalyaspor in July 2022 but has endured a nightmare spell with the Championship club since.

The winger played just once under Liam Rosenior last season, coming off the bench in the closing stages of City’s 3-0 defeat at eventual promotion winners Ipswich Town in October, before being sent back to Turkey at the back end of the January transfer window joining Hatayspor.

That loan spell has seen the 25-year-old play nine times in the Super Lig scoring one goal and registering two assists having played in their previous two games against Gaziantep and Ankaragucu before missing the 2-2 draw with Besiktas last time out through suspension.

Sinik will head to Germany to build up his fitness in a bid to return to City’s Cottingham training ground for the start of pre-season ready for the challenges of preparing for a Championship campaign, which will see the Tigers once again return to his home country for their warm weather training camp in July.
