Arsenal loanee Salah-Eddine Oulad M’hand is finally in training with Hull City, joining their open training session this week following his injury.

Hull City held an open training session on Tuesday, which allowed their supporters to get a first look at Arsenal loanee Salah-Eddine Oulad M’hand, over two months after he signed for their club.

Oulad M’hand was involved in the session after a long absence with injury to start his loan spell. The 19-year-old is yet to even make the bench in a single Hull City squad, despite joining 11 games ago.

According to Hull reporters, Oulad M’hand picked up the injury during Arsenal’s pre-season tour, though there’s clearly more to it than that, given the youngster took part in an u21 game in August.

Regardless, the midfielder still isn’t expected to be back in action until after the World Cup.

Oulad M’hand only joined Arsenal in 2020, completing a free transfer from Feyenoord, but he left the club this summer on loan with an option to buy.

Across all competitions for the Arsenal youth teams last season, Oulad M’hand scored six goals and provided five assists. His younger brother Ismail is also on the books with the academy, having joined from Feyenoord at the same time.

A very technical midfielder with goals in his locker, Oulad M’hand will have his best chance of success if he’s given license to get forward and support Hull City’s attacks.

Though hard-working, the defensive side of the 18-year-old’s game is less of a specialty.

The benefits of a move to the Championship are that he should be able to develop that more physical side of his game. But that will rely on him playing regularly when he eventually makes his comeback.
