Returns in last friendly
Hjerto-Dahl (groin) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's final friendly against Nice, the club posted.
Analysis: Hjerto-Dahl had finished his Hull debut with adductor pain against Eintracht Frankfurt, though manager Sergej Jakirovic said afterward he expected the midfielder to be fine following a medical check. His return to the starting XI confirms that assessment, positioning him to continue building match fitness as a depth option behind Regan Slater, Matt Crooks and Abdulkadir Omur.
Ends with discomfort Saturday
Hjerto-Dahl finished with pain in his adductor during his first Hull City appearance in Saturday's preseason friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt, with manager Sergej Jakirovic stating after the match: "And also Jens, he felt some difficulty in his adductor, so we will see after medical check, but he should be good".
Analysis: Hjerto-Dahl is likely dealing with a minor issue, but the timing is mildly concerning given that Hull's Premier League season opener is just a couple of weeks away. Adductor discomfort picked up in a first appearance can simply be a matter of the body adjusting to match intensity after a period without competitive minutes. In any case, the post-match assessment will determine whether he is available for the start of the season. Even if fit, he might eventually offer a depth option behind players like Regan Slater, Matt Crooks and Abdulkadir Omur.
