Nigeria Defender, Semi Ajayi has been ruled out of action for four months, DAILY POST reports.
Ajayi suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of West Bromwich Albion’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Cardiff City last weekend.
The Baggies manager Carlos Corberán revealed that the centre-back will be sidelined for a lengthy spell.
Corberán stated that the defender will undergo surgery in the coming days.
“Semi, unfortunately, has suffered a more difficult injury. It was an action which was an accident. In this action, he has broken his muscle in two parts,” the gaffer told the club’s official website.
“The best way to manage this injury is with surgery because surgery helps reduce the risk of suffering this type of injury again.
“There are injuries which affect the tendon in specific areas where you have to have surgery. The surgery delays things by around two weeks, but it also reduces the risk of the injury reoccurring.
“Returning in about 16 weeks is the approximate time when you have this type of surgery. ”
Ajayi will now miss Nigeria’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda in November.
Championship: Ajayi out for up to four months
