Coventry City injury news from CoventryLive as Frank Lampard provides an update on Haji Wright, Jack Rudoni, Bobby Thomas, Ephron Mason-Clark and Frank Onyeka
Coventry City’s Haji Wright left the field on Saturday with a groin concern
Frank Lampard has a fresh injury concern from Coventry City’s weekend defeat at home to Southampton as the head coach and his players turn their attention to Saturday’s long trip to Swansea.
Haji Wright was due to have a scan after coming off with a groin issue against the Saints, the striker alerting the bench to some discomfort just before missing a chance with a gilt-edged header which he directed straight at the keeper.
He was withdrawn just after the hour, replaced by Ellis Simms who is now on standby to start for the Sky Blues in South Wales this coming weekend.

“Haji’s got a bit of a sensation in his groin so we’ll have to check that out,” revealed Lampard, when asked if there were any fresh injuries from the 2-1 home loss, during which both Ephron Mason-Clark and Frank Onyeka were the victims of nasty looking tackles on or above the ankle. Onyeka went off in the 77th minute, replaced by Victor Torp, and asked if the pair are OK, the City boss said: “Yeah, as far as I know.”
Meanwhile, there’s good news regarding Bobby Thomas who has sat out the last three games with a minor calf strain – the defender making good progress and possibly available to return against the Swans.
Jack Rudoni is also on target for a return and should be available after the international break – the attacking midfielder having also missed the last three matches with a calf issue.
Providing an update on the two, Lampard said: “Yeah, they’re recovering. Bobby, maybe for Swansea, but we’re hoping both of them, for sure, will be fit at the other side of international break.”
