Hull have revealed Abel Hernandez will be out of action for the next four weeks with a groin injury sustained against Southampton on Sunday.

The striker was substituted after nine minutes of the 2-1 Premier League victory, with Dieumerci Mbokani coming on as his replacement.

In his absence, Mbokani is expected to continue to deputise, having started only one league fixture since his arrival on loan from Dynamo Kiev.
