Super Eagles LB Left Out Of Hull Squad To Kenya, Tomori Announces Chelsea Return

Published: May 10, 2018

Nigeria international Ola Aina has asked to be left out of the Hull City squad for their trip to Kenya on Friday morning and the same goes for Chelsea teammate Fikayo Tomori.

Both defenders have not been named in the Tigers traveling party to Nairobi, where they will take on Kenyan League Champions Gor Mahia on Sunday.

Former Dream Team VI invitee Moses Odubajo is lacking match fitness and has not been named in the 18-man squad.

Aina and Tomori, who joined the Championship outfit on a season-long loan last summer, have taken to social media to announce their return to their parent club Chelsea.

''Thank you to all the staff, players and fans for making me feel so welcome and making my time here so enjoyable,'' wrote Tomori on Twitter.

''It wasn’t the season we were hoping for, but @hullcity will be in the championship next season👊🏾. All the best next season!🐯🔶◼️''.

Tomori, who is an England U21 international but on the radar of the Nigerian Federation, made 26 appearances in all competitions for Hull City while Aina played 20 games more.
