Gourna-Douath (calf) will remain unavailable for Saturday's Premier League clash against Fulham but is expected to return the following week, according to coach Sergej Jakirovic, per Hull Live. "He's better, but there is something in his calf. It was a good decision to spare him against Everton, and next week he will start to train with us. He will miss the game at Fulham."
Analysis:Gourna-Douath continues to recover from the calf discomfort that forced him to miss Sunday's 2-2 draw against Everton. He has made three Premier League appearances this season, including one start, recording five tackles, two interceptions and three chances created. His expected return next week would provide manager Sergej Jakirovic with additional midfield depth after consecutive absences.
