2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hickey missed almost two full seasons with a hamstring injury but returned to the bench for the 2024/25 season finale, and he'll have a full preseason to get back to match speed. Prior to his injury, Hickey was considered one of the more promising full-backs in the Premier League. He has the ability to play on the right or left, both as a wing-back or traditional full-back. Getting back to that consistent starting role is the big question for him entering the new season. If he can win the job, he'll immediately have fantasy value as an attacking full-back.
Trains, not fit enough for play

April 10, 2026
Hickey (hamstring) is training again but remains out another game, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Aaron's probably not going to make Saturday, but he's not too far away - he's been training with the group this week."
ANALYSIS
Hickey has rejoined team training this week and is trending in the right direction, although the club will keep him out another week. However, this should line him up for a return in the coming weeks, potentially when facing Fulham on April 18 after another week of training. He has started in seven of his 18 appearances this season and has been more of a rotational option, giving the club further options at full-back once fit again.
