Hull City winger Yu Hirakawa will miss the remainder of the season after suffering an ankle injury.
The 25-year-old Japan international, on loan from Bristol City, picked up the injury during Saturday’s home defeat to Queens Park Rangers.
Manager Sergej Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside: “It’s very bad news, he must have surgery. It’s terrible news. He adapted here very well and he played good, but unfortunately no luck.”
Jakirovic also revealed that full-back Ryan Giles could be sidelined for around six weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over Derby County. “I don’t know what the damage is there, but from my experience it is six weeks,” the Hull boss said.
