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

The 25-year-old scored six goals in 43 appearances during the 2024/25 campaign but has already shown sharper form this term, netting 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.”

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

Despite his bright start, Thomas-Asante has been left out of Ghana’s squad for next month’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers, where the Black Stars will face Chad and Mali.
