Hull City midfielder Jake Livermore has tested positive for cocaine, it has been reported.

The 25 year-old, who moved to the KC stadium from Tottenham in 2014, is now expected to miss the last two games of the season for the relegation-threatened side.

Livermore, who picked up his only England cap in a friendly against Italy back in 2012, has made 35 appearances for Steve Bruce's side this season.

The Telegraph reports that Livermore failed a random drug test after Hull's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace in April and it is understood the Premier League strugglers will release a statement shortly.
