Sone Aluko is ignoring Aberdeen's request to return and have his fitness assessed ahead of the Under-20 World Cup. The Dons requested he return so that his fitness could be assessed, however, Aluko would rather stay with his team-mates after self-certifying himself.

"I want to play in the World Cup and just want my wish to be respected," explained Aluko.

"I feel good and I'm ready to join the team."

"Sone has still to return here and discuss what has happened," said boss Mark McGhee. "Until he does there is little more to be said.

"We want him to come back and prove his fitness before a decision is made on whether he'll be allowed to go to the World Cup."
