Frank Onyeka returns to Coventry City squad for Manchester City match
Summary

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has confirmed that midfielder Frank Onyeka is available for selection ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Onyeka missed the team’s recent defeat to Hull City but has since recovered to join the traveling squad. Meanwhile, summer signing Sidiki Cherif continues a managed fitness program as he adjusts to the demands of the league. Lampard stated that while Cherif is nearing a return, the club remains cautious about his workload, noting that playing an extended period in Saturday's fixture may be premature. The coaching staff is monitoring his progress to determine if he can provide an immediate impact during the game. Coventry City looks to recover from their previous league setback with these roster adjustments as they prepare for the encounter in Manchester.
