Semi Ajayi Ready To Return After Injury Absence, Hull City Confirm

Super Eagles and Hull City defender, Semi Ajayi is set for a return to action after long spell on the sideline at the the African Nations Cup in Morocco earlier in the year.

The towering defender sustained a hamstring injury that kept him out of action with his side in the Sky Bet Championship.

The 32-year-old’s last appearance for Hull City was against Millwall in December.

Hull City assistant manager, Dean Holden confirmed that the centre-back is available for the game at Portman Road.

“We’re fine, we’ve got a couple of bumps and niggles from the weekend,” Holden told Hull Live.

“Everybody’s come through unscathed, and we’ll welcome Semi back into the squad, which is a big boost for us.

“He’s been out for a decent amount of time since that AFCON game. He’s not had loads of training, but trained again this morning (Monday), looks fine, and he’ll come back in, so that’s a big boost.”

The centre-back joined the Tigers on a free transfer last summer.

He has scored once in 12 league outings for Sergej Jakirović’s side.
