Semi Ajayi cleared for Hull City vs Oxford United clash

Hull City's Nigerian centre-back Semi Ajayi is fit for the Championship match against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium. The 32-year-old returned early from Nigeria's 2-1 friendly win over Iran last Friday, playing only 45 minutes due to slight injury concerns, but has since trained fully with Hull City and is cleared for selection. Ajayi has struggled with fitness since joining from Crystal Palace last summer, making 16 league appearances and scoring once. His return strengthens Hull City's defense as they pursue playoff positions. Nigerian fans tracking his career will note his availability despite his injury history, though his long-term fitness remains a watchpoint. The match is a key fixture for both teams in the Championship.
