It's been confirmed that Robbie Brady will miss Ireland's Euro 2016 qualifier with Poland this month.

Hull say their midfielder will be out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury picked up in training.

It's a bizarre incident that has caused the injury, as Tigers manager Steve Bruce had explained: "Unfortunately Brady has fallen down a hole in the training ground and it looks an awful injury, I have to say."

Hull face Sunderland at the KC Stadium this evening, while Aston Villa will climb out of the relegation zone if they beat West Brom at Villa Park.

Southampton can leap-frog Liverpool into fifth if they win at home to Crystal Palace.
