Bassette, Eccles, Thomas-Asante – injury latest as Coventry City prepare for Portsmouth
Coventry City injury news from CoventryLive as we take a look at the Sky Blues’ injury list and when players are expected back as Frank Lampard dusts his squad down after the weekend disappointment and prepares to go again against Pompey
Frank Lampard continues to have niggling injury issues to his Coventry City squad as well as one confirmed long-term absentee for the final run-in and into next season.
The good news, however, is that influential midfielders Jack Rudoni and Ben Sheaf are back to full fitness with Rudoni playing his first full 90 minutes against Burnley since suffering a dislocated shoulder at Oxford last month. Sheaf, meanwhile, got 15-odd minutes in his legs with a late cameo in the 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United on his return from an unspecified injury issue but was an unused sub at the weekend.
Elsewhere, there was still no sign of Brandon Thomas-Asante and Josh Eccles for the weekend’s visit of the Clarets when centre-back Liam Kitching returned after sitting out the Bramall Lane defeat with sickness. The Sky Blues have one fresh injury, however, with Norman Bassette missing from the matchday squad on Saturday.
