Hull City defender Dawson out for one month

Hull City defender Michael Dawson will be out of action for a month after tearing his hamstring, manager Steve Bruce said Friday.

Dawson, who recently spent a month on the sidelines with an ankle problem, sustained the injury in the first 10 minutes of Hull's 0-2 loss at Chelsea last weekend, reports Xinhua.

Hull are currently second from bottom in the English Premier League.
