Hull City transfer target Mert Kömür did not suffer a serious injury in FC Augsburg's 5-2 friendly defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

After Thursday's game, head coach Manuel Baum confirmed this at the start of the training camp in Achenkirch, Austria.

However, the Augsburger Allegemine believes Augsburg may still have to do without Kömür in their upcoming training sessions.

"It's nothing structural, but it's painful," Baum explained, according to the Augsburger Allgemeine, regarding Kömür.

The 21-year-old had reportedly already gone into the friendly with a slightly injured ankle having taken a knock beforehand. 

A decision on whether the attacking midfielder will have to reduce his workload or can participate fully will depend on the level of pain.

The news will come as a slight concern for newly promoted Premier League side Hull, who have been linked with Kömür regularly.
