Russell Martin responds to Ireland boss' Michael Obafemi comments as Swansea City injury update given ahead of Hull City test

Russell Martin admits he's disappointed with comments made by Stephen Kenny after Michael Obafemi's call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad.

Striker Obafemi was omitted from the squads for Swansea City's Championship matches with Sheffield United and Queens Park Rangers after Martin admitted the player's levels in training were not up to scratch following interest in the frontman from Burnley in the summer transfer window.

It remains to be seen whether or not the 22-year-old will feature in Swansea's squad for their clash with Hull City this weekend - although he has been included in the Irish set-up for their Nations League fixtures against Scotland and Armenia during the international break.
