Hull's Will Keane facing a year on the sidelines with knee ligament injury

Hull City striker Will Keane has been ruled out for the rest of the season with knee ligament damage.

Keane picked up the injury in the Tigers' 2-1 win over Southampton on Nov. 6 and was set to undergo surgery on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old, who joined Hull from Manchester United in August, is expected to be sidelined for up to 12 months.

"Everybody at the club wishes Will well for a full recovery ahead of what is going to be a long road back to action," Hull boss Mike Phelan told the club's official website.
