The news will come as a big blow to manager Steve Bruce as Aluko has been one of the revelations of the season so far, scoring 8 goals in 24 games.
''It looks as if he has a small tear in his Achilles and he's going to be in a boot for the best part of four weeks. It is going to be the best part of six to eight weeks before he is back and it is a major concern to us,' Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside.
He added: "He has been paramount to the way we have played so it is a horrible blow. We'll be trying our utmost to try and bring someone in now."
