Frank Lampard addresses summer transfer question in wake of Oliver Dovin injury
Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as Frank Lampard is asked if Oliver Dovin’s long-term injury means the club will be looking for a new goalkeeper in the summer
The long-term injury to first choice Oliver Dovin begs the question as to whether Coventry City will be looking to recruit a new goalkeeper this summer.
Frank Lampard confirmed his worst fears about the Sweden international this week, with the player set to undergo surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) in one of his knees – an injury that usually has a 9-12 month recovery period.
That leaves Brad Collins and Ben Wilson to compete to take his place for the remainder of the Sky Blues season, while rookie stopper Luke Bell has been recalled from his loan spell at Gloucester City to add a third keeper to the squad at a time when fellow development goalie Cian Tyler is injured.
City have had three senior keepers to call upon in recent campaigns and with Dovin not expected back for several months, it remains to be seen whether the club will look for another player to come in to provide competition to the position.
