Hull City Football Club are sweating over the fitness of Anthony Gardner.

The 29-year-old defender was stretchered off during the 3-0 loss at West Ham United due to a leg injury, and Phil Brown admits the player could be out for some time.

"How bad is the injury to Anthony Gardner? I'm not quite sure at the moment," he said. "We'll have to see, but I've heard the words 'fibula' and 'tibia' used, so it doesn't sound too good.

"We are going away to Galway for a few days, and hopefully that will give us the time to regroup and go into the final 11 games of the season treating them all as cup finals."
