Hull recall Jacob from Reading loan due to injury

Hull City left-back Matty Jacob has returned from his loan spell with Reading to continue his treatment for a long-term knee injury.

The 24-year-old was initially signed on a season-long loan in the summer but picked up the problem during a FA Cup match against Carlisle United in November to cut his time at the Select Car Leasing Stadium short.

Jacob made 16 appearances across all competitions for the Royals, playing all 90 minutes in 10 League One games.

The Tigers are currently without favoured left wing-back Ryan Giles, who has suffered a hamstring injury that ruled him out of the 1-0 loss to Stoke City on New Year's Day.
