Nigeria's Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has received encouraging news regarding Semi Ajayi's availability for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania. The Hull City centre-back reported for international duty in Uyo, joining other England-based players such as Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Arthur Okonkwo, Bright Osayi-Samuel, and Ola Aina.
Ajayi was substituted in the 69th minute during Hull City's 1-0 loss to Arsenal last weekend due to muscle cramps, a concern addressed by Hull City manager Sergej Jakirović as a precautionary measure.
During yesterday's training session at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Chelle is expected to closely evaluate Ajayi's fitness. The 33-year-old defender has been a crucial player for the national team, featuring in all 10 competitive matches of the past year, with Nigeria securing three African Cup of Nations titles. Ajayi's recent performance against Arsenal has earned him praise from WhoScored, who included him in their Team of the Week.
