Hull City defender Semi Ajayi won’t be replaced in the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers games against Tanzania on the 13th and 17th of November respectively, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
The 33 year old was subbed off with twenty minutes left to play in their 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in the English Premier League clash over the weekend. He was subbed off after going down injured.
There were already suggestions that the injury could see him miss the Super Eagles games, but we exclusively gathered that the early diagnosis showed that he suffered no serious damage, and has been passed fit to travel for the game.
His coach Sergej Jakirović also confirmed after the game that it was nothing serious, playing it down as cramps while speaking after the game. “It’s very difficult; we had two players with cramps, and also we tried to close the midfield zone today because Arsenal are doing everything to overload the midfield, and it is not easy to control,” the Hull manager told Sky Sports.
