Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic discussed Williams' situation, revealing that the 25-year-old has experienced calf soreness and is awaiting the results of an MRI scan.

Jakirovic mentioned a six-week plan for Williams, which includes playing for the U21s to help him regain his rhythm and fitness.

The manager will assess Williams' progress and decide whether to keep him at Hull City or consider transferring him to another club during the January window.

Williams had a successful stint at Manchester United, playing 51 games after rising through the club's youth ranks under former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

To succeed at Hull City, Williams needs to regain his full fitness as soon as possible, or he may face being released from the club once again.
