Hull City Winger Sorba Thomas Escapes Injury After Car Accident Near Training Ground
Hull City Winger Sorba Thomas Escapes Injury After Car Accident Near Training Ground Hull City winger Sorba Thomas has escaped injury after his vehicle was involved in a road traffic accident near the club’s training ground in Cottingham on Friday morning. The Wales international emerged completely unscathed from the incident, despite images showing his vehicle overturned on a residential road near Hull’s training facilities. Hull City confirmed that Thomas sustained no injuries following the crash. The club moved quickly to reassure supporters after pictures of the overturned vehicle began circulating on social media. In a statement, Hull City said it was relieved to confirm that Thomas was unharmed and had emerged from the vehicle without injury. The circumstances surrounding the accident have not been fully disclosed, but the crash occurred close to the club’s Cottingham training ground. Thomas joined Hull City from Stoke City during the summer transfer window as the newly promoted Premier League club strengthened its squad. The 27-yearold made his Premier League debut for the Tigers as a substitute in their goalless draw against Aston Villa last weekend. He also started Hull’s EFL Cup fixture against Sunderland earlier this week, playing the full match. The accident comes just one day before Hull City’s Premier League trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Saturday. Hull have made an impressive start to life back in the Premier League, collecting seven points from their opening three matches and remaining unbeaten. Thomas’ availability for the Chelsea match will now be determined by manager Sergej Jakirovic and the club’s medical and coaching staff following Friday’s incident. The immediate priority, however, is the player’s safety, with the club confirming that he escaped the accident without physical harm.
