Hull boss McCann admits Liverpool midfielder Kane season could be over

Liverpool midfielder Herbie Kane's season could be over.

Kane is expected to miss the rest of Hull City's season through injury.

Kane was named in the League One Team of the Season in 2018-19 after taking in a loan spell under Tigers boss Grant McCann at Doncaster Rovers, scoring seven goals in 49 appearances.

But the Northern Irishman has now confirmed that the 21-year-old will miss the remainder of the campaign with ankle ligament damage.

“Eric (Lichaj) is probably going to miss the rest of the season," McCann told Hull Live after his side's defeat to Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night.

“He has torn ligaments in his ankle. It is the same as Herbie.

“It is exactly the same injury, which is bizarre. It is two blows for us.

“I think both are going to get a second opinion from a specialist. But it is very unlikely we will see them again this season."
