Hull midfielder Mohamed Diame is set for scans on his knee after suffering from an ongoing tendon problem and limping off in the 1-1 draw with Everton.
Tigers manager Steve Bruce welcomed the draw, which keeps Hull above the relegation on goal difference alone – but feared Diame could be out for as long as six weeks.
"It's been an ongoing tendonitis problem and the alternative may be an injection,” Bruce said.
"That could rule him out for a month or six weeks.
"We'll have some more scans and see how he is."
Bruce also said a knee injury that forced David Meyler off only appeared to be a nasty cut.
Tigers defender Michael Dawson stressed that while it was a relief to end Hull's four-match losing streak at Goodison Park, it would be games like the upcoming visit of West Brom to the KC Stadium that would determine his side’s position in the Premier League.
"You look at our recent performances away from home, when we have been to the Emirates Stadium, Anfield and now Goodison Park, and we have taken a point each time,” he said.
"We can take a lot out of this - even in the first half (against Everton), with as much possession as they had, how many shots did they have on goal? Not too many.
"But yes, the games against the likes of West Brom and other teams that are going to be around us are where we really need to pick up the points."
