Hull City's record signing Jimmy Bullard will have
surgery on his knee on Wednesday in the United States, the Premier
League club said.
"Jimmy will be having an arthroscopy to deal with a tear in his
cartilage," the Tigers said on their website without saying how
long he would be out of action.
"Hull City agree with Jimmy that the best man to perform this
procedure is the surgeon who dealt with his knee injury while he
was playing for Fulham.
"Jimmy will therefore be going to Denver, where the surgeon is
based, for this treatment."
The former Wigan midfielder suffered a career-threatening
cruciate knee ligament injury in September 2006, which ruled him
out for 18 months after collapsing following a challenge with
Newcastle's Scott Parker while playing for Fulham.
