Livermore suspended by Hull City after testing positive for cocaine
Jake Livermore has been suspended by Hull City for the remaining two matches of the season after testing positive for cocaine.
The 25-year-old midfielder, who signed for the Tigers from Tottenham last summer, failed a random drugs test after the 2-0 victory away to Crystal Palace on April 25.
His suspension is a huge blow to manager Steve Bruce whose side are currently in the relegation zone and battling to preserve the top-flight status.
With just two games of the season remaining, Hull are third from bottom and two points away from safety.
Livermore began his career at Tottenham, graduating from the academy and featuring in the first-team under Harry Redknapp before joining Hull on loan during the 2013-14 season.
He has been capped once by England in a 2-1 friendly victory over Italy in August 2012.
