Brown waits on Bullard news

Hull City boss Phil Brown admits he is still in the dark with regards the seriousness of Jimmy Bullard's injury. The club's record £5million signing endured a debut to forget as he jarred his knee in the 2-0 defeat to West Ham at Upton Park on 28th January.Although the injury is not connected to the one which sidelined him for 15 months in September 2006, it does affect the same knee.Scans have been sent to Bullard's surgeon, the renowned Dr Richard Steadman, in Denver, Colorado and the club are waiting anxiously on his verdict.Brown is confident the injury will not prove to be serious but concedes Saturday's trip to Chelsea could come too soon for the midfielder.Delayed scan"The scan situation hasn't become farcical but it has been delayed," said Brown."Because it has been delayed Jimmy's knee has settled down, the swelling has completely gone. That might be a blessing in disguise but we will see how Jimmy is today."It has got nothing to do with the old injury, Jimmy has played 40 or 50 games since then. It is unfortunately the same knee but it is a totally different injury."
