Frank Lampard wants Coventry to play without fear in Premier League

Frank Lampard has urged his Coventry City players to play without fear as they prepare for their Premier League return after a 25-year absence, opening against Arsenal on Friday. Coventry earned promotion by winning the Championship title four months ago, and Lampard — who last managed in the Premier League with Chelsea three years ago — wants his squad to embrace the step up in class. The club have also targeted physically imposing players, specifically those 6ft and above, to help them compete at the top level.
