Coventry City manager Frank Lampard says he hopes to have Bobby Thomas back for the team's clash with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. The defender missed Coventry's goalless draw with Hull City on Monday due to a shin knock and overall fatigue.

What happened?

Lampard stated that Thomas's injury is not serious, saying: “Bobby had a bit of a knock on his shin and overall fatigue so he was struggling to recover in the turnaround.”

However, Brandon Thomas-Asante remains a doubt for the weekend, having also missed the draw with Hull due to a small hamstring issue. Lampard will be cautious with Thomas-Asante, saying: “We’ll do some testing through the week in terms of pushing him to the max and then if he comes through that he’ll be involved on Saturday.”
