Hull City have recalled Tom Ince and Maynor Figueroa from their respective loan spells with Nottingham Forest and Wigan Athletic.
The pair were due to return to the KC Stadium at the end of the year after being loaned out back in October.
However, with a busy festive schedule looming, Tigers boss Steve Bruce has brought them back to the club early.
Ince made a total of six appearances at Forest, while Figueroa played six times for Wigan.
Hull currently sit two points adrift of safety in the Premier League table thanks to a 10-game winless run.
They return to action on Boxing Day with a trip to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland.
