BurnleyHull City owner Acun Ilicali says he currently "cannot say yes or no" as to whether Joe Gelhardt will return to the Tigers in the Premier League. The 24-year-old striker spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan at Hull, before returning for the entirety of their promotion-winning campaign in which he scored 15 goals. "I cannot say yes or no at the moment," Ilicali told BBC Radio Humberside.
Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic says defender Charlie Hughes is "far away" from a return from injury and has "no hope" of making the first game of the Premier League season against Manchester United. Hughes underwent a hernia operation after last season's Wembley success and complained of discomfort when he returned to first-team training this summer. "Every player, especially from last season who was a main player in our road to Wembley, to the Premier League, has a big role for us."
The defender is set to become one of Australia’s most expensive players with a Premier League deal nearly done while some international teammates have already made movesLucas Herrington, fresh off becoming the youngest Australian to start a game at a men’s World Cup, is set to become the second-most expensive footballer in Australian history with a move to newly-promoted Premier League side Hull City. Latest reports suggest a fee of approximately £12.6m ($24.1m), with a further £4.4m ($8.4m) in add-ons, which comes in just shy of the Australian record of £15m plus £5m in add-ons ($38.3m in total) that Leicester paid Stoke City to sign Harry Souttar in 2023.It would set a new selling high-water mark for his current club, Colorado Rapids, and eclipses the decade-old record Hull set when they paid just over £10m for Ryan Mason. Given the trajectory of Herrington’s meteoric rise, it feels a pretty safe bet to assume the 18-year-old will claim Souttar’s record outright sooner rather than later. Continue reading...
Starting from the 2026-27 season, the Premier League and other English competitions are set to implement a new goalkeeper injury rule in order to stop time-wasting. The Premier League has long been at the forefront of adopting rule changes proposed by soccer’s governing bodies. Ahead of the 2026–27 campaign, the English top flight, alongside several other competitions across the country, will trial a new goalkeeper injury rule designed to crack down on tactical timeouts and time-wasting. As reported by sports journalist Ben Jacobs, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) received approval from the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to roll out the trial for the upcoming 2026–27 season. PGMOL is the governing body responsible for overseeing match officials across English professional soccer. Consequently, the new rule will be enforced across the Premier League, the English Football League (EFL), major Football Association (FA) cup competitions, and the Women’s Super League (WSL). How the new rule works Goalkeepers going to ground to feign injury has grown into one of soccer’s oldest time-wasting tactics. Because keepers cannot easily be removed from the pitch for medical evaluation, a stoppage forces the match to grind to a halt, offering teams a prolonged breather or a chance to gather along the touchline for tactical instruction. Martin Dubravka of Burnley recieves treatment for a head injury. Under IFAB’s newly approved trial, anytime a match is stopped for a goalkeeper to receive medical treatment, an outfield teammate must temporarily leave the pitch for one minute of active play. This builds on recent player-evaluation protocols, but since a keeper cannot leave the field without forcing a stoppage, a teammate must serve the temporary exile outside the touchline instead. Once the head referee signals team physios onto the pitch, the manager has 10 seconds to select an outfield player to step off the field and report his choice to the fourth official. If the manager fails to nominate a player within that 10-second window, the team captain is automatically required to leave the field. Similar to general player-treatment rules, several exemptions will apply. An outfield teammate will not be required to leave the pitch if: The goalkeeper says they do not need the physio and they have not caused play to stop.The goalkeeper and an outfield player have collided.A goalkeeper is fouled and needs immediate treatment.A goalkeeper is bleeding.A goalkeeper suffered a serious injury (has to be substituted) or concussion. Additional World Cup-inspired rules for 2026-27 Ahead of the 2025-26 season, English soccer introduced an eight-second possession cap on goalkeepers to deter delay-of-game tactics and keep matches moving. Now, additional pace-of-play initiatives showcased at the 2026 World Cup will be integrated into the domestic calendar. Under the updated guidelines, players will face a strict five-second countdown on throw-ins and goal kicks, while substituted players will have a maximum of 10 seconds to exit the pitch. The complete package of rules is set to debut Saturday, Aug. 1, during the Carabao Cup preliminary round matchup between Tranmere Rovers and Rochdale.
