Coventry City’s Jamie Allen Reports Positive Recovery Progress

Coventry City midfielder Jamie Allen has informed BBC CWR that he is making significant progress toward rejoining the squad, having been sidelined for two months due to a knee ligament injury. The 29-year-old has been absent from the last nine Sky Blues matches since sustaining an early injury during the 2-1 home defeat against Swansea on September 21. Allen has chosen not to publicly specify a target date for his return to play, though he anticipates resuming full training in the near future. “It’s going really well. I’m feeling strong,” he said. “I’ve spent the last two or three weeks out on the grass doing straight line movements and then going into curving in different directions and my knee is feeling good now.” “I can’t really put a date on when I’ll be back in case something goes wrong but hopefully not too long.” Allen, who joined the Sky Blues in 2019, has surpassed 150 appearances for the club but had only commenced two Championship games this season, accumulating a total of 126 minutes across six matches prior to his injury.
