Hull City and Canada international Liam Millarâs season has ended prematurely following a severe knee injury.
Club manager Tim Walter confirmed on Saturday the 24-year-old summer signing suffered an ACL tear against Burnley earlier this week.
âHe has damaged his ACL, unfortunately, so I send him best wishes from my side,â the German boss told Hull Live.
âHe is out for the rest of the season. He will have surgery in three weeks because, at the moment, his knee is swollen, and itâs not possible at the moment.â
The news is also a massive blow for the country, given Millarâs promising performances under new boss Jesse Marsch.
âIt is a big blow for us and for him. He is so sad. He was crying on the phone when we talked about it and itâs so hard for me to understand,â added Walter.
âWe behaved like a family. Heâs one from our family and to hear that news, itâs really frustrating, and it makes me really sad.â
Millar made 12 appearances for Hull City across all competitions, registering one goal and two assists.
