Nigeria will be without defender Semi Ajayi for next month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda, and South Africa, Prompt News reports.
Ajayi sustained a hamstring injury while in action for his club Hull City against Coventry City last weekend.
According to Hulldailymaily, the centre-back will be sidelined for four to six weeks as a result of injury.
The 31-year-old returned to the Super Eagles for the high-profile friendly against Russia in Moscow in June after two separate hamstring injuries limited him to only 15 matches for West Brom last season.
The Super Eagles will host the Amavubi of Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, on Saturday, 6 September.
Eric Chelle’s men will face South Africa three days later at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.
