Haji Wright performed a key position throughout Frank Lampard’s early time with Coventry Metropolis and the England supervisor is hoping to see his American ahead take one other main step ahead this season.
Wright is at present along with his Sky Blues teammates at preseason camp as he continues damage rehabilitation forward of the EFL Championship marketing campaign. The U.S. males’s nationwide crew attacker suffered an Achilles damage in the course of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which dominated him out of many of the match.
Though Wright’s worldwide alternative was hampered by the damage, Lampard doesn’t consider it to be extreme.
“Haji sustained an damage when he was away with the USA crew, I believe we’re two-and a-bit weeks into what would you name his rehab from the second he bought the damage, which is an Achilles damage,” Lampard stated in a membership interview.
“Hopefully it’s nothing main,” he added. “He has accomplished all the things proper and he has been off his toes for a couple of weeks.”
Wright missed components of the 2024-25 league season resulting from an ankle damage, however returned to play a number one position below Lampard’s tutelage final spring. The 27-year-old scored 5 targets in the course of the second half of the season, ending with 12 general as Coventry Metropolis reached the promotion playoffs.
The Sky Blues’ playoff run ultimately ended in opposition to eventual playoff winners Sunderland, ending a promising six months below Lampard. Having Wright again for a full season can be key for Coventry Metropolis’s promotion quest this 12 months and Lampard is raring to get the American again amongst the targets.
“He was actually eager to come back right here with us, which I used to be actually happy with and it’s the fitting factor to have him across the group, we will do all of the work with him right here and Haji is a giant participant for us and I used to be very eager for him to be right here with us,” Lampard stated.
“He’s good with the work, he will get on it with it and even for me, that is my first full season with the gamers and I actually wish to get to work with the gamers and Haji individually, as he works via his rehab, we wish to get him match for the beginning of the season hopefully and I believe it may be a giant 12 months for him,” he added. “He has a lot expertise and I wish to work with him carefully and I wish to see one of the best of him.”
Coventry Metropolis opens its league schedule on August 9 in opposition to Hull Metropolis.
