HULL CITY: Seyi out for a month?
SEYI Olofinjana will be out for four weeks, according to reports in Nigeria.
The Nigerian international picked up a hamstring injury in the 3-2 defeat of Kenya last week, which saw his country qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

Seyi Olofinjana in action against Stoke
The Tigers midfielder is reported to have told Nigerian radio station Brila FM: "The doctors have said I will be out of action for about four weeks following my injury in Kenya."
Phil Brown today confirmed Olofinjana would miss tomorrow night's clash with Everton, and admitted he was a doubt to travel to the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday.
But he refused to say how long he would be out for.
It will be a huge blow to Hull City ahead of a series of important matches.
Olofinjana scored a stunning goal against Stoke in the 2-1 win a week last Sunday, and his presence as a midfield anchorman was missed in the 3-3 draw with West Ham.
It had been hoped he and Jimmy Bullard would form the sort of complimentary midfield the Tigers have been crying out for.

“Can't meet you tonight Tim as I've got a prior engagement at the KC with some Tigers and some Toffees. I'm not sure you can lure me away from that.”

“I'm said I'm pale, not pasty! We are getting on to dangerous ground here Tim, I'm really not that into father & son sharing! I also think that your son may be a little young for me. I don't look my age but I'm not sure I can pass for a teenager anymore!”
