Hull City team news ahead of decisive final game of regular Championship season
Yu Hirakawa is expected to recover from an ankle knock in training to play his part in what may or may not be their final game of the season.
The on-loan Japan forward recently returned from a more serious ankle injury, only to pick up another in training this week. But with so much on the line on Saturday, he is expected to be fit to face Norwich City.
"We don't have any (new) problems," said Jakirovic, when asked how his squad was looking after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Charlton Athletic. "We have some problems with Yu, about his ankle.
"He got a kick on Monday. But on Thursday he trained normally so he will be available for the squad."
Hull will be without Eliot Matazzo, who is due to have surgery on his second anterior cruciate ligament injury in little over a year on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The midfielder picked up the injury at the Valley in his first first-team appearance since first rupturing his ACL in February 2025.
"I saw in the public, there is a lot of questions about if we rushed with him," said Jakirovic, who will be suspended from the touchline on Saturday.
"This is not true.
"We spoke with him all the time with the medical stuff. He trained with us almost four weeks.
"Everything was okay. It was just my decision was that it's better to start in the game because if something happened - of course, not to his ACL, but hamstring, quad, groin, we can replace or split the minutes with (Regan) Slater.
"Darko (Gyabi) is also coming back after 12 weeks off the pitch, so we have a lot of problems in midfield play.
"But life goes on and we will do everything to help Elliot to come back even stronger."
The Tigers go into the final match of the season outside of the play-off places, yet Wrexham's slim goal difference advantage and Hull's better goals scored and head-to-head record means there is no result from Phil Parkinson's side which can stop them finishing in the top six.
Ultimately, if Wrexham's greater firepower gets them over the line, Hull should have no hard feelings about what has been an unexpectedly good season, but they do not want to end Saturday's game knowing they could have made it if only they had played better at home to Norwich City.
"This shows how difficult this league is and also the mentality of the teams because no matter if you are fighting for something or it is already season done, you have to deserve everything on the pitch," said Jakirovic. "There is no time to relax in the last game of the regular season.
"We have to do everything to win this game.
"Our first goal is to win the game, to play tactically wise. No rush, no anything because it's a very long 90 minutes.
"And of course, it depends on other results, especially Wrexham-Middlesbrough so, we will see. We will track everything."
To finish above Wrexham, a one-goal swing in goal difference will do for Hull, but Derby County are a point behind with a better goal difference, and can sneak in if both sides lose.
Wrexham host a Middlesbrough side with an outside chance of automatic promotion, and Derby host Sheffield United. All games kick off at 12.30pm.
