Hull City's summer signing Robert Snodgrass is reportedly expected to be out of action for four months with a dislocated kneecap.

The 26-year-old, who signed for the Tigers for £8m from Norwich City this summer, suffered the injury during last Saturday's 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.

According to the Daily Star, yesterday's scan revealed that Snodgrass has not suffered any ligament damage, but is likely to be sidelined until Christmas.

The Scotland international left Loftus Road on crutches with his leg in a brace following the match last weekend.
