Grimes 'right choice' for captain - Lampard

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard says appointing midfielder Matt Grimes as their new club captain was "the right choice".

Grimes, who previously held the armband for close to six years at Swansea City, was named captain on Thursday following the departure of former skipper Ben Sheaf to Wrexham.

"Grimes has impressed everybody on and off the pitch since he's been at the club, has a big experience of being a captain so he was, for me, the right choice," Lampard told BBC Radio CWR.

"I think captains should lead by example - on the pitch, off the pitch - and be very well rounded and I think Grimes is certainly that.

"As a coach there are some players who can help form the team, form the way you want to play and particularly in Grimes' position centrally, in the middle of the park, it's been seen that he's been hugely important."

Lampard also confirmed that left-back Jay Dasilva has trained this week despite missing out on international duty with Wales after an injury concern sustained during the Sky Blues' last match against Oxford United.
