HULL CITY’S NEW midfielder Robert Snodgrass will be out of action for up to six months due to a dislocated kneecap, the Premier League club announced via Twitter.
“(Manager) Steve Bruce has revealed Robert Snodgrass could be out for up to six months with a dislocated knee cap,” Hull said. “Everyone at the club would like to wish @robsnodgrass7 a speedy recovery.”
A £7 million close-season signing from Norwich City, 26-year-old Snodgrass injured his knee in the first half of Hull’s 1-0 league win at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
Hull, runners-up in last season’s FA Cup final, visit Belgian side Lokeren on Thursday for the first leg of a Europa League play-off tie.
As well as Hull’s fixtures, Snodgrass will also miss Scotland’s opening 2016 European Championship qualifiers against Germany, Georgia, Poland and the Republic of Ireland, plus a friendly against England in November.
