Continues building match fitness
Morita is continuing to build his match fitness after recovering from a groin injury that limited his involvement earlier this season, according to coach Sergej Jakirovic.
Analysis: Morita is gradually working toward full match fitness after overcoming the groin problem that disrupted his start to the 2026/27 campaign. The midfielder recently returned to full team training and featured off bench 15 minutes in both of the last two games. However, coach Jakirovic's latest comments suggest that Morita still needs additional time to reach the physical level required for regular first-team involvement. He has accumulated just 75 Premier League minutes this season, leaving him short of competitive rhythm compared to his teammates. Although the midfielder appears to have recovered from his injury, his playing time could remain limited in the short term as Hull City gradually increase his workload.
Back among substitutes
Morita (groin) has been named on Hull City's bench for Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton following his return to first-team training.
Analysis: Morita is back in contention after overcoming the groin problem that has restricted his involvement since joining Hull City. The midfielder has accumulated just 45 Premier League minutes this season and recently resumed training with the rest of the squad. His inclusion among the substitutes represents another step toward regular involvement, though he could initially be limited to a short appearance as he rebuilds his fitness.
