‘Heartbroken’ Matt Grimes on Coventry City’s ‘incredible human being’

Coventry City captain Matt Grimes expressed heartbreak after close friend Jake Bidwell was left out of the club's 25-man Premier League squad. The 33-year-old defender missed out due to squad size limits, with manager Frank Lampard previously describing him as a victim of numbers who deserved the best.

Grimes praised Bidwell's professionalism, noting that he continues to train intensively and set standards for younger players despite the setback. The midfielder added that he hopes Bidwell finds a suitable move in the upcoming January transfer window.
