Hull City will be missing Abel Hernandez for another three weeks.

Hernandez is to undergo a hernia operation and will spend an additional three weeks on the sidelines.

"Abel will be out for three weeks," Tigers boss Mike Phelan told the club website.

"He has recovered from the groin problem, but he needs a hernia operation and he'll have that this week."

Hull are without a win in four after a 1-0 defeat at Middlesbrough at the weekend but escaped further injury troubles from their trip to the Riverside.
