Hull City goalkeeper Matt Duke has had an operation to remove a testicular tumour that he recently discovered.
The 30-year-old is recuperating at home after having the surgery on 5 January and is awaiting test results this week.
Duke, who has been left out of the Tigers squad for the last two games, signed a new three-year deal in September which runs until June 2010.
He was first choice earlier this season ahead of Boaz Myhill but lost his place after getting injured.
