Likely ready for opener
Onyeka (undisclosed) was not mentioned in the injury report by manager Frank Lampard and appears to be an option for the season opener against Arsenal on Friday.
Analysis: Onyeka was dealing with a knock he suffered late into Coventry's final friendly ahead of the new season, but he appears to have shaken off the injury, as he was not included in the first injury report of the season. He is set to be a key part of the promotion squad after permanently signing with the club this summer, a decent bet to start in the season opener.
Joins Coventry permanently
Onyeka signed permanently with Coventry City from Brentford for an undisclosed fee, the club announced.
Analysis: Onyeka initially joined on loan in January and played a key role in Coventry's Championship title-winning campaign, making 14 appearances and scoring a crucial goal against Derby County in April. The 28-year-old Nigerian midfielder brings considerable Premier League experience to the Sky Blues having made 75 top-flight appearances during his time at Brentford, giving coach Frank Lampard a physically imposing and technically capable option in the center of the park as the club prepares for life back in the Premier League. His permanent deal comes into effect on July 1.
