Hull midfielder Jake Livermore has been suspended by his club after testing positive for cocaine.

The former Tottenham player failed a random drug test after Hull's win over Crystal Palace last month.

The 25-year-old will now miss the rest of the season for club as they seek to avoid relegation to the Championship.

In a statement, the club said: "Following suspension by the FA the Club has subsequently suspended Jake Livermore pending further investigations to be made by the FA and our own internal disciplinary procedures."

Livermore has been capped once by England, playing in a friendly against Italy in August 2012.
