A key Coventry City player provides an honest update on his contract predicament.
Callum O’Hare’s return to the pitch after a 10-month absence was the long-awaited comeback for Coventry City fans on Wednesday night.
The attacking midfielder, who joined the Sky Blues from Aston Villa in the summer of 2020 after a successful League One loan spell, had missed the majority of the 2022-23 season due to two major injuries.
O’Hare tore his hamstring on the eve of the season, at a time when Burnley were widely tipped to sign him, and just two months later, a ruptured ACL on Boxing Day 2022 against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane terminated his season.
Like any serious knee injury, O’Hare’s recovery has been slow and arduous, but with Cov chasing the game against Rotherham United earlier this week, Mark Robins turned to the diminutive midfielder 15 minutes from time for his comeback.
City lost 2-0 in the end, but there was a lot of joy to see O’Hare back on the pitch – the issue remains though that his contract, like Gustavo Hamer and Viktor Gyokeres had in the summer before they were sold, is expiring in the summer of 2024.
