Hull striker Dieumerci Mbokani set for six-week spell on the sidelines after injuring hamstring in Burnley draw

Hull striker Dieumerci Mbokani has been ruled out for six weeks with a hamstring injury.

The DR Congo international, on loan from Dynamo Kiev for the season, was replaced by Oumar Niasse in the second half of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Abel Hernandez returned ahead of schedule from a hamstring injury of his own later in that game, giving Marco Silva's attacking options a boost.
