Hull City rocked by latest blow after desperate draw with Portsmouth
The bad news keeps on coming for City and their beleaguered head coach
Hull City look almost certain to be without Abu Kamara when they take on Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday night looking for a first win in six games.
Kamara hurt himself in a challenge late on against his former club, Portsmouth, on Saturday afternoon and limped out of the action with eight minutes to go, being replaced by Will Jarvis, with City forced to settle for a point in a dispiriting 1-1 draw which saw the Tigers booed off at full-time.
The winger left the MKM Stadium with his right foot in a protective boot and is considered a major doubt for the midweek trip to face Des Buckingham’s U’s, adding to the Tigers’ injury worries.
A potential absence for the 21-year-old would come as a major blow to City who are without fellow summer signing Liam Millar for the remainder of the season after he damaged his cruciate knee ligaments against Burnley last month, while Marvin Mehlem and Steven Alzate are also sidelined along with goalkeeper Carl Rushworth.
City have Ryan Longman closing in on full fitness but has not yet made his return, while Dogukan Sinik is fit again but has not featured in a squad since last October.
Kamara’s absence could hand a chance to Jarvis at the Kassam Stadium, or Walter may opt to bring Kasey Palmer or Abdus Omur back into contention, with the pair forced to settle for cameo appearances off the bench in recent weeks.
