Jimmy Bullard underwent a procedure last night in America to repair a torn cartilage. Whilst performing the arthroscopy, the surgeon noticed fresh damage to his anterior cruciate ligament.

In the best interests of both the player and Hull City Football Club it was decided to undertake a reconstruction of the damaged ligament which means that Jimmy will be unavailable for the remainder of this season. The Club wishes Jimmy a speedy recovery and look forward to his return in a Tigers' shirt as soon as possible.
