Coach Sergej Jakirovic has admitted that losing Semi Ajayi to the Africa Cup of Nations will be a significant blow to Hull City even as he challenged other defenders to prove their worth in the absence of the Nigeria international.
Ajayi is set to be absent for up to a month after linking up with Nigeria following City’s 3–1 victory away at Millwall on Saturday.
Ajayi has now turned his attention to the AFCON as the Super Eagles aim to improve on their runner-up finish in 2024 and go all the way in the tournament.
