Kirk Yeaman set to miss season start

Kirk Yeaman signed a new three-year deal with Hull last season.

Yeaman could face six weeks out with the arm injury he sustained in last weekend's friendly win over Doncaster.

The Great Britain centre had a scan on Thursday after injuring his left elbow in the game.

The diagnosis suggested he would miss the next six weeks, although Hull say they are seeking a second opinion.

Hull are already without Gareth Raynor, Richard Horne, Lee Radford and Richard Whiting for the start of the season.
