Hull City injury and suspension woes laid bare as problems pile up for Tim Walter

Hull City's Championship season hit new depths this week after summer signing Mohamed Belloumi became the latest player struck down by a serious injury.

Just a couple of weeks after Liam Millar was ruled out with an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury, Belloumi is believed to have suffered a similar fate in the closing stages of Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat at Oxford United. City remain hopeful the prognosis isn't as bad as first feared, but there's a growing concern the results of a scan will confirm it.

The news will come as another hammer blow to City and boss Tim Walter, who is under mounting pressure after a poor run of results and saw fans again turn on him at the Kassam Stadium, demanding owner Acun Ilicali make a change.
