Injured Allen 'making good progress'

Coventry City midfielder Jamie Allen has told BBC CWR he's making good progress towards returning to the squad after two months out of action with a knee ligament injury.

The 29-year-old has missed the past nine Sky Blues games after coming off injured early in the 2-1 home defeat to Swansea on 21 September.

Allen won't publicly set a target for when he might be ready to play again, but he hopes to be in full training soon.

"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 has passed 150 appearances for the Sky Blues after arriving in 2019 but has only started two Championship games this season and played a total of 126 minutes across six matches before his injury.
