Hull City striker Will Keane ruled out for 12 months with knee injury

By , Staff Reporter
Hull City striker Will Keane is reportedly expected to miss the rest of the season due to cruciate ligament damage.

Hull City striker Will Keane will miss the rest of the season after he was ruled out for 12 months with a serious knee injury.

The 23-year-old will undergo an operation after damaging his cruciate ligament for the second time in four years.

The injury blow came in the Tigers' 2-1 victory over Southampton almost a fortnight ago.

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

"To lose a player of Will's quality and potential for such a long period of time is a big blow, but I'm sure his determination and mind set will see him through the tough journey ahead."

The striker joined Hull from Manchester United in August, signing a three-year deal.
