Lampard wants 'clarity' on security at Hillsborough

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard says that he hasn't yet had "clarity" on security protocols for Saturday's visit to Sheffield Wednesday.

Further protests are expected at Hillsborough over the financial turmoil at the club that has seen players yet again face late payments.

Lampard says he wants some reassurance for the safety of his team if there are protests during the game.

"I have to think for Coventry City and my players and the things that I'm hearing about people might come on the pitch," Lampard told BBC Radio Coventry.

"We haven't had massive clarity in our conversations this morning on our players' security, their players' security, what might happen.

"Sheffield Wednesday have to deal with their end but we want that communicated to us. What are the variables that may happen, what are the consequences of what might happen because we saw Ipswich and Blackburn recently, which is still on-going. That was a natural cause, this may not be.

"I want some clarity on that, I haven't heard much. There are conversations on-going this morning and outside of that, I'll focus on my job of trying to get my team ready."

Lampard also confirmed there is still some injury doubt over midfielders Josh Eccles (glute) and Victor Torp (ankle) however they are set to train on Friday and are not yet ruled out for Saturday's game.
