Hull boss Steve Bruce has confirmed that midfielder Robert Snodgrass will be out for up to six months with a dislocated kneecap. The Scotland winger suffered the injury in Saturday's 1-0 win at QPR.
Bruce said Snodgrass, who joined Hull in a £6m deal from relegated Norwich this summer, would be missing "for the best part of the season".
Snodgrass was due to see a specialist on Wednesday to undergo surgery.
The 26 year old tweeted: "Gutted ....!!! But I will work as hard as I can to come back fitter and stronger."
