Hull have confirmed Jimmy Bullard will not need surgery on his injured knee.Bullard went to see a knee specialist in America but he did not find any serious problems. Bullard Injured his knee against West Ham on his short debut and has not played since.
"Hopefully he'll come through a week of training unscathed and we can
play him in the Cup against Sheffield United," Brown told BBC Radio
Humberside.
Bullard has joined the rest of the squad in Dubai for a few days training ahead of the FA Cup fifth round game against Sheffield United on Saturday.
Bullard was sidelined for more than a year after dislocating his kneecap in S and he damaged the same knee against West Ham fuelling speculation that he had suffered a reoccurrence of the injury.
Hull boss Brown has stated that is not the case, adding that Bullard was close to playing in Saturday against Chelsea.
"The severity of the old injury sort of plays tricks with your mind and Jimmy would have to be 100% to cross the white line," Brown added.
