Championship: Ajayi nears Hull City return after injury layoff
Hull City’s Semi Ajayi Approaches Full Fitness
Hull City assistant coach Dean Holden reported that defender Semi Ajayi is nearing full fitness. This comes after Ajayi has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury sustained during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations last month.
The injury has kept the 32-year-old out of action for the past seven matches across all competitions. Holden indicated that Ajayi’s recovery is progressing as planned but noted that he has not yet returned to team training. “Semi is going well, but again, not back in the team training just yet,” Holden stated, as quoted by Hull Live.
Ajayi joined Hull City last summer on a free transfer after parting ways with West Bromwich Albion. Since his arrival, he has made 12 league appearances for the Tigers, scoring once.
