Coventry City have announced that goalkeeper Carl Rushworth has been suspended indefinitely from all football-related activities pending the outcome of an internal disciplinary investigation.

The Championship club released a brief statement on Thursday confirming that the 24-year-old shot-stopper will not be available for selection until the investigation has concluded. Club officials declined to provide specific details regarding the matter, citing confidentiality and ongoing procedures.

Rushworth, who has been an important figure between the posts for Coventry City, has impressed supporters with a string of crucial performances and commanding displays throughout the season. His sudden absence is expected to force the coaching staff into a rethink ahead of several important fixtures.

Manager Frank Lampard addressed the media shortly after the announcement, urging supporters not to jump to conclusions while the process is ongoing.

“At this stage, we ask everyone to respect the process. We will continue preparing the squad for upcoming matches, and we’ll provide further updates when appropriate,” he said.

The unexpected development has sparked widespread discussion among Coventry City fans, many of whom have taken to social media to express surprise and offer support while awaiting further information from the club.

With Rushworth unavailable, Coventry are expected to rely on their backup goalkeeper as they continue their campaign. The coaching staff remain confident the squad has enough depth to remain competitive despite the setback.

Club officials emphasized that no further comments will be made until the investigation has been completed, with additional information expected in the coming days.
