Sone Aluko Faces Late Fitness Test Ahead Huddersfield Town Clash

Hull City coach Steve Bruce is sweating on the fitness of Sone Aluko ahead of Saturday afternoon’s Championship game at John Smith’s Stadium against Huddersfield Town.

The Nigeria international could not participate in training on Thursday after picking up a knock and will need to undergo a late fitness test before the trip to HD1 6PG.

Aluko,27, was handed his eighth start of this season in the Tigers 4-0 loss to Derby County on Tuesday and had to be substituted 20 minutes from time as a result of the ailment.

Moses Odubajo’s services will not be needed as he has been handed a one-match ban following his dismissal against Derby County.

England youth international Chuba Akpom has lost his place in the starting XI since the start of this year but remains available for selection against The Terriers.
