Hull City have received a major positive update ahead of their upcoming match against Coventry City, with Nigerian defender Semi Ajayi fully cleared to feature following an injury scare.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

• • The Injury Scare: During Hull’s impressive 2-0 victory over Manchester United at the MKM Stadium, Ajayi was substituted in the 64th minute after reporting hamstring stiffness. Fellow goalscorer Noah Mendy also exited the match early with an adductor complaint.

  • Manager’s Reaction: Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic noted that both substitutions were entirely unplanned, stating, “Ajayi was complaining about his hamstring, and Nobel about his adductor.”

  • Medical Clearance: Following post-match medical evaluations, both players received the all-clear, providing a timely lift for the squad.

  A Memorable Return to the Premier League

  Before his substitution, Ajayi enjoyed a dream outing as Hull marked their triumphant return to the Premier League after a nine-year absence.

  • The 32-year-old center-back opened the scoring in the 17th minute, pouncing on a rebound after Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens parried Oli McBurnie’s header from a corner.

  • Noah Mendy subsequently doubled the lead before halftime.

  Reflecting on his historic goal with TNT Sports, Ajayi expressed his delight:

  “It was amazing. It kind of capped off the really good start that we had… I’m buzzing to get the goal to get us underway. I’m happy it left us getting three points.”

  With Ajayi officially cleared, manager Jakirovic retains a crucial defensive option as the team prepares for Saturday’s fixture.
