Republic of Ireland international Robbie Brady could miss the rest of the season after injuring himself falling into a hole at Hull's training ground.
Brady missed Hull's 1-0 defeat to Stoke on Saturday due to the injury sustained on Friday and manager Steve Bruce today revealed his concern that the midfielder could miss a substantial period of time.
"Unfortunately Brady has fallen down a hole in the training ground and it looks an awful injury, I have to say," Bruce said.
"We won't know the extent of it until he has had scans. After seeing him on Friday I doubt he will be available for weeks. It could be the rest of the season."
Ireland face Poland in a crucial Euro 2016 qualifier on Sunday 29 March.
Brady has come on a substitute in three of the team's four qualifying games to date.
Ireland lie fourth in the table, level on seven points with Scotland and Germany, behind leaders Poland.
