Absence of Hull City new boy Carl Rushworth explained by reporter ahead of Stoke City trip.
Hull City goalkeeper Carl Rushworth missed their game against Sheffield United last time out with an ‘unspecified bruise’, as per HullLive reporter Baz Cooper.
Hull City signed the highly-rated stopper on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion before the deadline in the last transfer window.
The 23-year-old Rushworth was not included in the team for the game against the Blades, but he may play on Friday away at Stoke City while he waits to make his Tigers debut under Tim Walter.
Journalist Cooper provided an update on his condition on the most recent episode of the 1904 Club Podcast, saying, “He picked up an unspecified bruise but Walter thinks he’ll be back for Friday night.” Like you, I anticipated Rushworth to enter the game (the last time out against Sheffield United).
Rushworth is anticipated to return for the weekend, but once more, he doesn’t seem to be bringing him in, the speaker continued. I believe he will remain with (Ivor) Pandur.
Hull City goalkeeper latest
Hull City currently has five goalkeepers on their roster: Harvey Cartwright, Timothee Lo-Tutala, Anthony Racioppi, Ivor Pandur, and Rushworth. The last two are younger players.
Pandur has so far received the manager of the Tigers’ top pick, but he still has a huge decision to make.
Rushworth will aim to establish himself as their first choice in the upcoming weeks and months, but they didn’t sign him to be a bench warmer.
When Brighton made an offer in 2019, the former player for FC Halifax Town and Huddersfield Town headed south.
He has never played for the Premier League team at the senior level, but he has accumulated a great deal of experience playing on loan at Swansea City, Worthing, Walsall, Lincoln City, and the AMEX Stadium.
Rushworth has risen through the ranks year after year and was a big hit for the Swans in his final season in South Wales.
Before returning to his original club for the preseason, the former England youth international participated in all 46 league games for the Welsh team.
What now?
Rushworth is excited to be included in the Tigers’ Friday squad to play Stoke City.
Between him and Pandur, who has improved recently after going through a difficult period during their friendly games, Walter must make a decision.
Hull City needs to win three points to keep pressure on their boss at bay. They haven’t won yet this season.
Currently in the relegation zone, the East Yorkshire team has three points on the board.
