Onyeka has brought 'knowhow' - Lampard

Coventry City's on-loan midfielder Frank Onyeka has brought valuable top-flight experience to the team as they chase promotion to the Premier League, says boss Frank Lampard.

The 28-year-old Nigeria international joined the Sky Blues from Brentford on transfer deadline day in February and has been part of a winning side in all four of his appearances so far for the Championship leaders.

"When we recruited him the playing profile was different as we are quite light on Premier League experience," Lampard told BBC CWR.

"Not many of our players have been exposed to the Premier League, some other Championship teams have lots of exposure to the Premier League.

"So there's an experience about it, a knowhow in his game but he's been a big impact on and off the pitch for us. His professionalism is really good and he's clearly come in and helped our upturn in recent weeks."

Onyeka was substituted with 'a knock' in last weekend's win over Stoke City but Lampard says he is in contention to face Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

"He hasn't trained much but he'll train today (Friday) and we'll see how he is."
