Hull are closing in on the appointment of Liam Rosenior as their permanent replacement for Shota Arveladze. The 38-year-old is expected to bring in coaching staff from a previous club, as per The Athletic reporter Phil Buckingham.

Huddersfield Town

Defender Ollie Turton will miss the next three months through injury. He has picked up ankle ligament damage and will require an operation. Huddersfield boss Mark Fotheringham has told the Yorkshire Post: “He’s going to be a massive loss and it’s really unfortunate news in that respect. But we all support him, he’s a great boy with a lovely family to support him so I’m sure he’ll be back in good shape in no time and I don’t think he’ll lose too much fitness as well because he’s an athlete.”

The Terriers’ B team take on League Two side Salford City today in a friendly at the Millers Oils High Performance Complex with kick-off at 1pm.
