Hull City boss Steve Bruce has admitted that he has fitness concerns over strikers Shane Long and Sone Aluko ahead of their next Premier League clash.

Long was withdrawn at half time in the Tigers' 3-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday while Aluko missed the game entirely, and now both players are unlikely to feature against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Bruce told reporters: "Long's got a calf injury. We'll see how he is but he's got a whack to the back of his calf. He'll be touch and go for the weekend, I would have thought.

"Sone Aluko unfortunately nicked a hamstring on Thursday. It's unfortunate because we were just seeing Sone again. It's getting a bit too often with Sone, we get him up to speed and unfortunately he breaks down again and that's a disappointment."

Hull are 14th in the Premier League, six points clear of the relegation zone.
