Ghana forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has opened up about the struggles he faced in his debut season with Coventry City, revealing that injury problems hampered his performances.

The 25-year-old managed six goals in 43 appearances during the 2024/25 campaign, but he has already shown sharper form this term, scoring twice in his first three matches.

Ahead of Coventry's trip to Oxford United on Saturday — where victory could see the Sky Blues climb from fourth place to the top of the Championship table — Thomas-Asante reflected on the challenges he endured last season. "As a striker, getting in the right positions is important as well, and I'm grateful to the staff," he said. "Last year, I was sort of trying to play on a bit of an injury and I ended up being out for a little while, so to feel good in my body,…I'm grateful that over the offseason, I could rest and get back to a state I'm happy with," Thomas-Asante said.

The in-form forward will be aiming to extend his scoring streak at the Kassam Stadium.
