Coventry coach Frank Lampard provides positive injury update on Frank Onyeka

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard provided a promising injury update on Frank Onyeka ahead of their next Sky Bet Championship fixture.

​Onyeka picked up a knock in Coventry City’s home win over Stoke City last weekend, where he was replaced by Victor Torp in the 55th minute.

​Speaking to Coventry Live, Lampard stated he believes the Nigerian international is primarily suffering from fatigue.

“Yeah, I’m not sure. I think it’s a lot of fatigue and maybe a bit of a knock. He was struggling a bit so he had to come off.”

The former Chelsea boss revealed that he had considered whether or not to start the midfielder against the Potters.

“Yeah, and I was aware of that. There was a question about playing him, probably, physically, but the influence that he’s had so far meant that he started the game.”

​Onyeka rarely featured for Brentford during the first half of the season, making just nine appearances for the Bees. The 28-year-old had also made eight appearances for Nigeria prior to his arrival at the CBS Arena.

​The former FC Midtjylland star has started four games since joining Coventry City.
