Coventry City pre-season news from CoventryLive as Sky Blues boss Mark Robins ponders the next step for 20-year-old striker who has shown up well in the first team this summer

One of the standout performers of Coventry City’s pre-season so far has been young striker Justin Obikwu.

The 20-year-old has been given his chance to shine by manager Mark Robins who has included him in his first team summer squad, and the quick and athletic front man has certainly caught the eye in the games he’s played so far.

Asked about his performance at the Lamex Stadium on Tuesday night (July 23), Robins said: “Justin’s work-rate was incredible and was brought down in the area when he won the penalty off the goalkeeper, and got a goal for himself. And then we scored a second from a Bobby Thomas header and then a third was down the right-hand side from a counter attack. Justin got down the right-hand side and had the presence to cut the ball back for Fabio, and the movement he (Fabio) showed was second to none, really, and that gave us a cushion.

“We carried on and had other chances, some really good chances actually, and their goalkeeper has made some really good saves. He pushed a header over from Justin and their goalkeeper had a pretty busy and really good game.”
