  "account": "Hull City has received a significant boost following their victory over Manchester United, with defender Semi Ajayi cleared of a hamstring injury and set to be included in the squad for their upcoming match against Coventry City, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. Ajayi was substituted in the 64th minute of the 2-0 win against Manchester United due to hamstring stiffness, raising concerns about his availability. However, subsequent checks have confirmed he is fit, alongside teammate Noah Mendy, who also left the game due to an adductor complaint. Coach Sergej Jakirovic initially revealed that the substitutions were not part of his original plan, as Ajayi had complained of a hamstring issue and Mendy of an adductor problem. Ajayi had made an impact early in the match, scoring the opening goal in the 17th minute and assisting Noah Mendy to double Hull's lead. The Nigerian international celebrated his Premier League debut with joy, stating it was a rewarding moment for his team.",
