Hull City’s £6m winger Robert Snodgrass faces six months out after dislocating a knee cap in the win over QPR.

The Scotland international, who signed from Norwich in June, is set to undergo surgery to repair ligament damage.

Steve Bruce told the Hull Daily Mail: “We’ve lost Robert Snodgrass and the diagnosis is he’ll be gone for six months which is a big blow to us.

“We spent a lot of money adding to our midfield area and now we’ve lost Snodgrass for the best part of the season. It’s a tragedy for him and for us.”

The winger tweeted: “Gutted ....!!! But I will work as hard as I can to come back fitter and stronger.”
