Hull blow as Robertson sidelined by calf injury

Hull City have been dealt a major blow with news that Andrew Robertson could be out of action for up to two months.

The Scottish full-back suffered the problem in the weekend's 6-1 defeat at AFC Bournemouth and is expected to miss most of the rest of 2016.

"Andy Robertson is likely to be sidelined for up to eight weeks with the injury sustained against Bournemouth at the weekend," read a statement on Hull's official website.

"The Scottish international damaged his calf during the second half of the defeat at the Vitality Stadium, with subsequent scans showing that the left back is set for a spell on the sidelines."

Robertson's absence means he will miss the World Cup qualifier between England and Scotland at Wembley in November.
