Coventry City are set to be without leading scorer Brandon Thomas-Asante until the New Year after it has been confirmed that the forward has a torn hamstring.
The Sky Blues were without the 26-year-old – who leads the Championship scoring charts on ten goals with Derby’s Carlton Morris – for their 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic, a game in which fellow striker Haji Wright and winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto were also out injured.
Confirming Thomas-Asante’s prognosis, having pulled up at the Riverside on Tuesday night, Frank Lampard said: “Brandon’s got a hamstring injury and he’ll be out for six weeks or so.”
That means the Black Stars forward will sit out the festive period and may not be available until the third round of the FA Cup on the weekend of January 10. Failing that, he could return to face Leicester City at home on January 17.
