Both players have been sidelined for a while, with Hickey missing since October 2023 and Thiago managing just four games this season.

Frank dropped a hint on Friday, saying, 'Everyone is available that was available last week for the Arsenal game.'

And it gets better! Frank confirmed, 'Igor Thiago is getting closer and Aaron Hickey is getting closer, so it all looks good.'

With Brighton on the horizon, Frank is determined to keep the momentum going. He insisted, 'We have plenty to aim for still.'

His goal? A top-10 finish, which would be a fantastic achievement for the club. 'Everyone is speaking about Europe and that's tough,' he said. 'If we want any ambition about that, we need to win on Saturday, against a team that also needs to win on Saturday!'

It's going to be a good game, and Frank is ready to make it happen.
