Injured midfielder George Boateng Believes there is pressure on Hull with every ball they kick as their continue their fight against relegation. Hull currently sit 15th in the table 5 points above the relegation zone and face Middlesbrough next weekend in a vital 6 pointer at the foot of the table

Writing on his own blog Boateng said. "I have been working with physios in Holland for the last ten weeks or so. It has been really hard but I am very happy with my progress.

It is always hard not to be around your family when you are working somewhere else but it is the sacrifice you make. I´m hoping to get back fit quicker and that the rewards will come when we start winning as a team.

I have followed every step, every kick of the ball by my team while I was away. Boy have I missed it. It is even harder when you are injured and can´t help. It´s much harder being injured as opposed to being suspended. When you are injured and you are still in pain you can´t help it much and it takes time. At least when you´re suspended you know when you can play."

"I have worked so hard and I believe that I am getting closer to fitness. I can´t wait to start kicking a ball again and making myself available for selection.

I can´t put a time to when I can play but I am very close. I am very confident I will be playing before the season ends.

As for the team I strongly believe we will have a few tough games. There is going to be a lot of pressure on every ball we kick because it is going to be very important what decision every player makes with or without the ball.

But I am happy with that – I believe that when there is a lot of pressure on me or the team we will deliver. We went to Arsenal when people didn´t believe we could get anything there, never mind win. The following week against Tottenham was even harder because people expected us to win – and we did. So what ever will be will be"
