Hull City boss Steve Bruce expects Paul McShane to be sidelined for a long time with the ankle injury that he picked up during tonight's 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
Defender McShane departed the action on a stretcher early in the first half after colliding with Hull goalkeeper Steve Harper.
After the match, Bruce told BBC Sport: "The X-rays are clear. His ankle is in a horrible position.
"We expect ligament damage - we'll find out how bad the injury is tomorrow. It disrupted us for a while."
McShane has now made 13th first-team appearances this season.
