Frank Lampard confirms major Coventry City injury boost ahead of Norwich City clash
Frank Lampard has issued a fresh fitness update on Coventry City striker Haji Wright.
The USA international has not played for the Sky Blues since the start of November and they have badly missed their top scorer. Lampard today confirmed the 26-year-old has taken a significant step forward in his recovery from an ankle injury.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, ahead of Coventry’s Championship clash with Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday (3pm), the Sky Blues head coach said: “He came out on the grass yesterday for his first sort of steps outside with some mobility work to get moving. We’re hoping he’s back in the next two weeks or so.

“But it’s been a fair amount of time now, so I want to be conservative about how I say he will be on the grass and then with us.
“He has to get his fitness up and the staff have been doing a good job of doing what they can to keep him as fit as he can be without being out there doing the stuff he really needs to do.”
Wright had scored seven goals in 15 matches in the Championship this season before being sidelined through injury.
