Bruce not panicking over sudden Hull injury crisis

Hull City boss Steve Bruce isn't panicking over their sudden injury crisis.

Scans yesterday confirmed the Tigers will be without key duo Nikica Jelavic (knee) and Michael Dawson (ankle) for at least a month, while goalkeeper Steve Harper (bicep) is out for up to three weeks.

All three were hurt at the Emirates on Saturday, when Hull drew 2-2 with Arsenal.

Bruce said: "It's a huge blow to lose players with their experience and quality but it's one of the reasons we did a lot of recruiting in the summer.

"We've got a big squad now and I'm sure it's good enough to cope."
