The injury has forced the experienced defender to miss Hull City’s last seven games in all competitions.
The centre-back is now nearing return to full action, according to Holden.
“Semi (Ajayi) is going well, but again, not back in the team training just yet. Toby’s (Collyer) a little bit behind Semi. He’s still doing some individual rehab,” Holden was quoted by Hull Live.
He has made 12 league appearances for the Tigers this season, with one goal to his name.
