Aluko Happy Returning to Action For Hull City

Hull City striker Sone Aluko has revealed that he is happy with his return to the team following a six-month injury-induced absence.

The 24-year-old Nigeria international had been out of action since January with an Achilles problem.

Aluko however made a return to action in Monday's 6-0 friendly victory over Winterton Rangers, and is now focussed on attaining full fitness ahead of his club's season opener against Chelsea.

"I felt pretty tired afterwards, but the first game back is always tough and especially after the injury," Aluko told the Hull City's official website.

"But it was good to be out there again. I enjoyed it and it was great to be back out there with the team.

"I'm concentrating fully on pre-season and it's all about getting back to full fitness."

Aluko and his teammates are currently in Portugal continuing their preparations ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
