Missed this one at the time, James Weir suffered a bad knee injury in November, out for 6 months.

More Hull news, Will Keane back in squad after missing 14 months due to a cruciate injury.
Hull are currently one point above the relegation zone. So that's 4 former United reserves players (McNair and Love at Sunderland as well as the Hull duo) that joined PL clubs yet find themselves in danger of being in League One next season.
To make matters worse, for various reasons (knee injuries being the main factor), none of them have started many games for their current clubs, nor done enough to be an attractive proposition for Championship clubs looking to buy.
Donald Love more involved at Sunderland since Chris Coleman took over. 5 starts since the beginning of December, though back on the bench for the 0-4 loss at Cardiff. McNair returned from his cruciate injury in late October but missed the whole of December with more fitness problems. At Sunderland, McNair is considered a midfielder.
The Hull duo are contracted until summer 2019, while the Sunderland pair's deals last until summer 2020.
