Coventry City's squad is getting a timely boost ahead of their Championship clash with Sheffield Wednesday, as key players Brandon Thomas-Asante and Bobby Thomas are back in contention. Thomas-Asante, who has missed the last two league games, and Thomas, absent from the goalless draw with Hull, are both available for selection, manager Frank Lampard confirmed.

However, the potential return of the duo is tempered by a new injury concern. Winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is a doubt for the match after suffering a knock to his ribs in training. "He took a bang on his ribs so we’ll see for tomorrow," Lampard said, leaving his availability up in the air.

Despite facing the league's bottom club, Lampard was quick to dismiss any notion of an easy fixture. He issued a clear warning to his team, emphasizing the threat posed by a determined Sheffield Wednesday side. "Don’t expect Sheffield Wednesday to come and roll over," he stated. "They can be aggressive off the ball and dangerous in transition. We have to take the game by the scruff of the neck if we want a positive result."

This match presents a crucial opportunity for Coventry to build momentum, and having key personnel back fit could be the difference-maker as they look to navigate a challenging Championship season.
