Haji Wright was not named in Mauricio Pochettino’s latest USMNT squad, but he’s lighting it up for Frank Lampard with three goals in Coventry City’s pummeling of Sunderland on Saturday.
The 26-year-old American striker missed three months with an ankle injury before returning to promotion hopefuls Coventry on March 1, coming off the bench twice before making a start last time out.
He was back in the XI for a second-straight game on Saturday, and scored all of the goals as his fifth-place Sky Blues beat fourth-place Sunderland to increase their hopes in the race for promotion to the Premier League.
