This update was revealed by interim manager Rhys Carr, who told Coventry Live that the player had a scan on his ankle to determine the extent of his injury.
Wright’s injury isn’t ideal during what is an important set of fixtures for the Sky Blues, who will be desperate to get themselves back on track following a very underwhelming start to the season.
In the absence of the United States international, they were able to secure a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon, with goals from Normal Bassette and Bobby Thomas ensuring they won a point against the Blades.
But they would have wanted Wright for their next couple of games, with the Sky Blues facing promotion contenders Burnley on Tuesday evening.
Scott Parker’s side have endured a fairly mixed season thus far, but they have been able to retain their place in the promotion mix and will be a tough opponent for Coventry to face at Turf Moor this evening, considering the quality they have in their side.
The Lancashire outfit may have lost quite a few talented players in August, but their squad is still one of the strongest in the Championship on paper, and they will be hoping to use that to their advantage again in this midweek fixture.
After this game, Coventry then face Cardiff City at home this weekend, which will be seen as a very winnable game, even if the Bluebirds have made some promising strides under Omer Riza since Erol Bulut’s departure.
Carr provided the latest update on Wright’s situation, with the American spending time out of action since he rolled his right ankle in the Sunderland game.
Speaking about this injury, the Sky Blues’ interim boss said: “He’s had a scan and assessments on that so it will be a little bit of time to get him ready.
