They signed him this past summer from FC Basel and he has since scored once in 12 games so far for the Championship side.
The Tigers have other options to pick from in his position like Abu Kamara, Ryan Longman, Will Jarvis and Abdulkadir Omur, with Mohamed Belloumi already staking his claim on the other flank.
However, Millar’s absence will still be a blow and Tim Walter’s side should delve back into the free agent market. One player who is available right now is Ryan Kent.
Hull City have considered Kent in the past, as detailed in a report by HullLive, and the door is now open to land him should they wish to.
The Tigers’ owner Acun Ilicali will know all about the player due to their links at Fenerbahce together.

Kent has recently cut ties with the Turkish giants and will now be weighing up his options as a free agent.
If Hull City were to offer him a deal, he would slot in for Millar and give them more competition and depth going forward.
The ex-England youth international rose up through the academy ranks at Liverpool and went on to have loan spells away from the Premier League giants at Coventry City, Barnsley, Freiburg, Bristol City and Rangers to get some experience under his belt.

He then moved to Ibrox permanently and went on to become a key player for the Glasgow outfit.
Kent scored 33 goals in 218 games for the Gers before heading over to Turkey when Fenerbahce came calling.
What now?
Hull City are no strangers to signing free agents and have brought in Steven Alzate and Joao Pedro since the end of the last window.
Kent’s name is never too far away from being linked with the Tigers and with Millar out long-term, this could be the perfect chance to lure him over to East Yorkshire.
