Kamara injury not as bad as first thought - Walter
Hull City boss Tim Walter joined the club in the summer on a three-year deal

Hull City manager Tim Walter says Abu Kamara has not sustained a serious injury after the England Under-20s winger limped off on Saturday.
Kamara was withdrawn in the 82nd minute of Hull's 1-1 draw with Portsmouth after taking a heavy knock to his ankle.
However, his injury is not as serious as first thought after the former Norwich forward was spotted leaving MKM Stadium in a protective boot.
Despite the good news, Hull's trip to Oxford United on Tuesday night has come slightly too soon for Kamara to be deemed fit for action.
"It's not really good so for today he is not an option, but hopefully he is back on the weekend," Walter told 91热爆 Radio Humberside.
"It's not that bad but it's still painful so he cannot play [against Oxford]."
Kamara, who signed for Hull in the summer, joins Steven Alzate, Liam Millar, Marvin Mehlem and Carl Rushworth on the sidelines as the Tigers' injury problems mount.
However, Walter is not letting bad luck excuse a poor run of form.
"We have to accept it," the German said. "It's the chance for other players to step in and show what they can do and to prove how good they are.
"I am very comfortable with my team, I am 100% convinced of my team and for that we will have a good sub for him."
