Coventry Round-Up, Monday 2nd November: Sakamoto Reflects on Big Win as Lampard Deals with Growing Injury List

There's plenty to chew over after Saturday's win over Sunderland at the CBS Arena, with Tatsuhiro Sakamoto speaking about his goal and revealing how he managed to persuade Frank Lampard to give him his chance at Coventry City (CoventryLive). The popular winger's strike helped send the Sky Blues on their way to what was described as a much-needed three points (CoventryLive).

Another big talking point from the Sunderland game was the performance of Stephen Mfuni, with fans once again left purring over his potential after two moments of what's been called "silk and steel" summed up his immaculate start to life at the club (CoventryLive).

On the injury front, Frank Lampard has given an update with Frank Onyeka the latest man to join the casualty list, meaning Coventry currently have six players out of action as they prepare for Friday's trip to face Everton (CoventryLive).

Away from the pitch, there's a serious update from the police after a 14-year-old boy was arrested following a "heartbreaking" taunt aimed at Bradley Lowery during the Sunderland game at the CBS Arena (CoventryLive).

On the transfer front, Coventry City are said to be "looking at" a move for a teenager valued at £4.1million, with the player already being talked up as a "relatively complete midfielder" despite his tender years; he's currently playing his football in the Swedish Allsvenskan (CoventryLive).

Elsewhere, Coventry United's form and head-to-head record ahead of their game against Nuneaton has been previewed by Sky Sports (Sky Sports).
