Hull City manager Phil Brown has told Sky Sports News that Jimmy Bullard has not suffered any serious knee ligament damage.
The influential midfielder has been ruled out for six to eight weeks, but that is a boost as there were serious fears he could have suffered cruciate knee ligament damage for a third time in his career.
Bullard suffered his latest injury at Aston Villa on Saturday, and he was visibly upset amid fears his season could have been over before it had barely started.
Bullard only made his comeback from his last injury in October, but his impact was tremendous as he won Premier League Player of the Month for November.
Now scans have confirmed that he has only sprained medial ligaments, which will rule him out until the end of January.
Six to eight weeks
“Jimmy is going to be out between six and eight weeks, a totally separate injury to anything he has had before,” Brown told Sky Sports News .
“It is a grade 2 sprain on his medial ligament, it is not connected with anterior cruciate ligament.
“Whichever way you look – on the negative front we are losing a very good player for six weeks, but on the other side it could have been a lot longer.
“It has been a horrendous day [waiting], but you talk about popularity – the amount of well wishers and people asking about Jimmy, it is fantastic the response to one of the most popular players in the country.
“I am hopeful that Jimmy will be back on the field of play before the transfer window closes – that is what I am looking at and hopefully what everyone else is looking at.
“It also gives us a chance to strengthen his other leg, it hasn’t been a problem but it gives us a chance to strengthen.”

Steve Bruce was pleased with his Sunderland side’s response in the second half even though it was not enough to stop them losing 1-0 at Fulham.
The Black Cats were thoroughly outplayed in the opening 45 minutes and were lucky to go in at the break just the one goal behind after Bobby Zamora had given the hosts a fifth-minute lead.
However Sunderland came out fighting in the second period and with some better finishing could certainly have got something out of the game.
In the end Fulham held on to claim the three points, meaning Sunderland are yet to win away since the opening day success at Bolton.
“We were certainly better, especially second half,” Bruce told Sky Sports .
“Second half we have had a right good go at it. We had the best chances in the game but obviously didn’t take them. We lacked that bit of quality.
“We all know that the first goal, especially in the Premier League, is massive. It was a disappointing way to lose for me because the goal is a soft one, we haven’t done enough and we should be defending better than that.
Problems
“We were all at sea and Anton’s (Ferdinand) twisted his ankle and that hasn’t helped things. To be fair Zamora played very, very well against us and caused us a few problems in the first half so we have to take our hat off to them.
“Second half was a completely different story. We have looked for a response, got it and might have done enough to get something out of the game.
“The first half we just didn’t get started that’s obviously not good enough. It’s something we have to analyse and do something about and try and arrest this slump away from home because it’s in danger of ruining our season.”
Bruce also highlighted that his side could not rely on Darren Bent to score all their goals after the striker missed two half chances at Craven Cottage.
“We have had two or three really good opportunities but we can’t keep relying on Benty to score us a goal,” he added.
“So someone else has got to come to the party. But we struggled today in front of goal and that bit of quality unfortunately missed our chances.”
Sunderland 4/6 , Draw 13/5 , Portsmouth 9/2
