Frank Onyeka
28-Year-Old
Coventry City
Premier
Comes off bench in cup
Onyeka (hand) was passed fit for Wednesday's Carabao Cup meeting with Aston Villa and featured for around 21 minutes off the bench, easing concerns raised by the knock he picked up in Sunday's 5-0 defeat to Brighton.
ANALYSIS
Onyeka suffered a hand injury against Brighton on Sunday and was withdrawn in the 73rd minute but was cleared to feature against Aston Villa and played 21 minutes off the bench, with his limited outing likely influenced by both his return from the injury and rotation for the cup match. Onyeka has started every match he has been available for this season, so he should be in line to return to Frank Lampard's starting lineup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
