A key player for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Semi Ajayi, is set to make his return to action after being sidelined for around three months due to a hamstring injury. The Hull City defender has been absent since picking up the injury during Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign in Morocco, where he played an instrumental role before being forced off in the third‑place match against Egypt.
Ajayi’s return to fitness has been a long process, but after weeks of rehabilitation, he is now available for selection and is expected to play an important role in Hull’s upcoming fixtures. While his time away from training was considerable, Hull’s coaching staff have confirmed that Ajayi is ready to contribute.
His comeback couldn’t have come at a better time, as Hull City fights for a strong finish in the Championship. Ajayi’s leadership and experience at the back will be crucial as the team pushes for important points in the league, while also adding strength to the Super Eagles squad ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
Having missed club action since January, Ajayi’s return adds significant depth to both Hull and the national team, marking a promising step toward regaining his peak form.
