Coventry City Names Matt Grimes Captain as Lampard Backs Choice

Lampard cites Grimes’s years leading Swansea as the key factor in handing him the armband.

Overview

  • The midfielder takes over following Ben Sheaf’s move to Wrexham.
  • Liam Kitching is appointed vice-captain after deputising last season.
  • Lampard told BBC Radio CWR that Grimes has impressed on and off the pitch and is the “right choice.”
  • Grimes says he is honoured and proud to accept the responsibility after joining in January.
  • Jay Dasilva trained this week despite missing Wales duty with an injury concern, and Coventry host Norwich on Saturday as they look to extend an unbeaten league start.
