Morita is unlikely to see action in the next league games against Chelsea and Newcastle as he deals with an injury, per manager Sergej Jakirovic, Eddie Lyons of Hayters.com reports.
Analysis: Morita has logged only 45 minutes of Premier League play since moving to the Tigers for the 2026/27 campaign, with injuries keeping him out potentially until after the next international break. Losing the midfielder has been a tough blow to the squad's depth, although his role in the rotation is not clearly defined yet. All of Regan Slater, Matt Crooks (quadriceps) and Lucas Gourna-Douath will be the main options in the central zone until the Japanese is ready to play.
Creates chance in return
Morita registered one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Coventry City.
Analysis: Morita returned to the starting XI and produced one key pass and one block during the opening half before being replaced at the interval. His distribution and ability to progress possession from central areas add a different dimension to Hull's midfield, though his workload may need to be managed as he rebuilds fitness. Once fully up to speed, Morita should be capable of playing an important role in controlling the tempo of matches.
