Weir, 22, suffered the injury while playing for the Tigers' Under-23s, having made four appearances for the first team in August and September.

"It is not a nice situation for James or for us and he has had an operation," said head coach Leonid Slutsky told the club website.

"He will probably miss six months now and we are very sorry for him."
