Matty Jacob

Won't be ready Saturday

Jacob (hip) is out for Saturday's EPL opener against Manchester United, manager Sergej Jakirovic told Hull Live. "Matty Jacob is out."

Analysis: Jacob has been dealing with a hip injury since the first preseason match, and the defender won't be ready to play in this tough opener against Manchester United. His absence shouldn't have a big impact on fantasy decisions, however, as he is expected to be a depth option on defense for the Tigers and not much else.
