McBurnie coughed up blood mid-match
Oli McBurnie coughed up blood during Hull City's draw with Brentford, according to BBC Sport's gossip column, a detail that will worry both Hull and Heart of Midlothian, the Scotland striker's parent club.

BBC Sport flagged the incident under its gossip tag, which means it's being treated as unconfirmed rather than a verified medical update. There's no word yet on whether McBurnie, 29, was taken off, assessed by medics on the pitch, or played through it. Hull haven't put out a statement and neither have Hearts, who will want clarity given McBurnie's Scotland and loan situation could be affected by anything serious. Coughing up blood during a match is the kind of thing that gets checked properly before anyone says anything concrete, so expect official word from Hull or Hearts before this gets any clearer. Flagside will update once a club statement or medical update lands.
