Hull City Coach Concerned Over AFCON Impact on Defense

Hull City's head coach, Sergej Jakirov, expressed disappointment over Semi Ajayi's departure for AFCON 2025, leaving a defensive gap in the team. Ajayi's significant contribution to Hull City's recent form in the EFL Championship has been crucial, and his absence due to international duty raises concerns for the club's performance.

The coach highlighted Ajayi's hamstring issues but praised his commitment to both club and country. With Hull City aiming for promotion to the English Premier League, Ajayi's absence poses a challenge to their aspirations.
