Super Eagles handed major boost as Hull boss drops key Semi Ajayi update

The Super Eagles have been handed a huge boost ahead of their upcoming games during the March International break, with Semi Ajayi nearing full fitness, Afrik Foot reports.

The three-time African champions are set to feature in a Four-Nation Invitational Tournament in Amman, the capital of Jordan, next month.

Nigeria, Iran, Costa Rica and Jordan will all participate in the tournament, with the fixture dates set to be announced soon.

The 32-year-old hasn’t been in action since then, as he’d been recovering from his hamstring tear.

Hull City’s head coach, Sergej Jakirovic, has revealed the Nigerian has returned to individual training, although he’s quite unsure when the ex-Arsenal man will join the rest of his teammates in group training.

“Semi (Ajayi) is going well, but again, not back in the team training just yet. Toby’s (Collyer) a little bit behind Semi. He’s still doing some individual rehab,” the Bosnian said in quotes revealed by Hull Daily Mail.
