Coventry City defender Stephen Wright has said that he is stuck with an Achilies problem and has to manage it in order to get back to match fitness.

Wright played sixty five minutes for the Reserves against Wolves yesterday and the whole game against Grimsby eight days ago and told the CT: It's just one of those things that I am going to have to live with.

"I have spoken to a lot of people who have had Achilles injuries and they all seem to say it is never the same again.

"But you just have to keep doing the exercises, getting massages and it is just a case of managing it from now on.

"It is the worst injury I have ever had and it is particularly disappointing because I have just joined a new club and it is a fresh start for me.

"I had a good pre-season and I want to be playing and showing the fans that I am a good player who wants to help the club progress and do well in this league.

"But hopefully I am getting there now.

"My general fitness is good and that's never been a problem for me, and now it is just a case of getting games in and getting my sharpness back.

"Hopefully, I can force my way into the squad in the next couple of weeks and see where we go from there."
