Hull City striker Sone Aluko is facing a spell on the sidelines for up to 10 weeks with a torn Achilles.

Manager Steve Bruce confirmed the news in a press conference today, meaning that the Premier League outfit will be without one of their leading strikers until the New Year.

The blow comes just two months after the 24-year-old return to action from a lengthy stint away from the pitch with a similar injury.

The Tigers are currently 10th in the league table.
