A knee injury picked up against Southampton is expected to keep Hull City's Will Keane out of action until the end of 2017.
Hull City have announced that striker Will Keane is facing up to a year out of action due to knee ligament damage.
The former Manchester United forward picked up the injury in the 2-1 victory over Southampton at the KCOM Stadium on November 6.
The club confirmed that the 23-year-old will undergo surgery on Tuesday before beginning a rehabilitation programme that could last 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," manager Mike Phelan told the club's official website.
