Likely available Saturday

Ajayi (hamstring) is expected to be available for Saturday's match against Coventry, according to Baz Cooper.

Analysis: Ajayi was forced off in the 64th minute against Manchester United after experiencing hamstring discomfort, but the issue does not appear likely to keep him sidelined for long. The center-back had scored earlier in the contest while also contributing five clearances and two interceptions before his exit. Ajayi's expected availability Saturday is an encouraging development given his importance at the heart of the defense.

Scores, leaves with hamstring issue

Ajayi scored Hull City's opener before being forced off in the 64th minute of Saturday's 2-0 win over Manchester United after complaining of a hamstring issue, according to head coach Sergej Jakirovic, per The Yorkshire Post. "I don't know, after the medical check, I don't know much more. But right now, I don't know. [Ajayi] complaining on the hamstring and Nobel on the adductor."

Analysis: Ajayi opened the scoring in the 17th minute of Hull City's 2-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday before hamstring discomfort forced him off as one of four defensive substitutions in the second half. He will undergo a medical assessment to determine the severity of the issue, with no immediate indication of a potential recovery timeline. The center-back had been having an excellent game defensively before his exit, recording five clearances and two interceptions during his time on the pitch.
