Hull City manager, Steve Bruce, is sweating on the fitness of Super Eagles striker Sone Aluko ahead of the  Capital One Cup Fourth Round tie with Leicester City.

Aluko was initially included in the Tigers 18 - man squad for the Championship clash against Birmingham City but had to be withdrawn after getting injured in the warm - up.

The Nigeria international was involved in Hull City’s win over Accrington Stanley in the first round of the Capital One Cup but did not feature in subsequent rounds against Rochdale AFC and Swansea City.

Anglo - Nigerian pair Chuba Akpom and Moses Odubajo have no injury worries and are both available for selection for Tuesday night’s game at the KC Stadium.
