Hull City winger David Akintola has reportedly received approval to feature in the Championship play-off final against Middlesbrough at Wembley, following confirmation of squad eligibility ahead of the decisive fixture.
The Nigerian forward is understood to be available for selection after being cleared to take part in the high-stakes encounter, which will determine promotion to the English Premier League. The approval comes as Hull City finalise preparations for one of the most important matches in the club’s recent history.
Akintola, who has been part of the squad this season, is expected to provide attacking depth as the Tigers aim to secure a return to the Premier League. The winger’s involvement adds to Hull’s options in a game described as financially and competitively significant, with both clubs battling for top-flight football next season.
Hull City reached the final after defeating Millwall in the semi-final, while Middlesbrough advanced following a dramatic play-off campaign affected by disciplinary decisions involving Southampton. The final is scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium, with thousands of fans expected to attend.
