Rumours spread like wild fire among Sky Blues fans when the Dane wasn't on the teamsheet on Saturday.

But head coach Lampard said: "He had a tight calf which is not an injury. It was a precaution [to leave him out] so hopefully he'll be training with us next week."

Jamie Allen replaced the midfielder and scored a Torp-type goal with a powerful strike into the bottom corner in the seventh minute.
