On Tuesday, Hull confirmed Bruce had held informal talks with the Football Association over the vacant England manager’s job.

Dawson suffered medial ligament damage in last night’s friendly against Mansfield and has been ruled out for three months.

Odubajo played in that game and produced an assured display to mark the end of an excellent season for the 22-year-old, throughout which he performed reliably well.

His loss now means City have just 13 fit outfield players with the Premier League season a little over three weeks away.

“First and foremost, it’s desperately disappointing news for Moses”, said Tigers boss Steve Bruce.

Full-back Moses Odubajo ruptured a knee ligament and centre-back Alex Bruce was forced to undergo surgery on a foot problem, meaning will both be out for up to six months.
