Hull midfielder Jake Livermore has been suspended by the club and the Football Association.
The struggling Barclays Premier League outfit revealed the news in a short statement.
It came after reports concerning off-field allegations about Livermore emerged earlier in the day.
The statement read: " The Football Association has suspended Hull midfielder Jake Livermore.
"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.
"The club is unable to make any further comment during this process."
Livermore, 25, won an England cap in the friendly against Italy in 2012.
He has played in 35 of the Tigers' 36 games this season, scoring in the home defeat against his former club Tottenham in November.
He joined Hull on a season-long loan from Spurs in 2013 and completed a permanent move in June last year.
Hull, who play at Spurs on Saturday before finishing their campaign with a home match against Manchester United, are currently two points from safety.
