Town boss on a ‘disappointing’ injury blow ahead of Leicester cup tie

HUDDERSFIELD Town have been handed a significant blow with the news that Mickel Miller will be out for a period of time after suffering a hamstring injury in last weekend’s League One win at Reading.

Miller was anxious to put last season’s injury travails behind him after missing just over four months with a knee ailment after hurting his knee in late November. He returned to action in April and started the club’s opening two games of the current campaign.

Manager Lee Grant, whose side hosts Leicester City in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night and is expected to make several changes, said: “It’s a tough one for Mickel. We know he’ll recover, and he’ll work hard to get back as soon as possible.

“It would be improper of me to place a time stamp on that. But it’s a disappointment for both the group and me. “Everyone at the game noticed how hard he worked and how valuable he has been to us over the last few weeks. But the results have come back, and they are not good. “In terms of the full extent, we still have some work to do to determine whether it will be four, six, or eight weeks; we’ll see.

“But we know we’ve lost Mickel for several weeks, which is disappointing. “It’s hard and he’s disappointed of course.” Town, who have won their first two games of the 2025-26 season, report no new issues for the cup match against the Foxes.
