Hull City have been rocked by an injury to star man Liam Millar ahead of their trip to face Derby County this weekend.

The Canadian international took a kick to his knee in the 1-1 draw with Burnley last night and was forced off after just five minutes of the Championship clash.

He is now set to undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury but his hopes of being available for the trip to Pride Park look slim. Hull manager Tim Walter is now awaiting the verdict of a scan but if Millar does not make it, Abu Kamara, the former Portsmouth and Norwich winger, is favourite to replace him.

Speaking after the 1-1 draw with Burnley, a game Derby head coach Paul Warne attended, Walter said of Millar: "I can't say anything because I was unfortunately in the stands.

"I just have to talk about the medical team because I didn't see him (before talking to the media). Hopefully, he's good, but we have to take care of him and wait for the scan."

Hull are already without Marvin Mehlem who has a calf injury while Steven Alzate is sidelined with a similar problem.

They join Carl Rushworth, Ryan Longman, Andy Smith and young goalkeepers Thimothee Lo-Tutala and Harvey Cartwright who are out of Saturday's game.
