Just seen this on Cov Mad!

Winger injured already
Loan signing Danny Ward is the latest in a long line of players who are receiving treatment. The 19 year old was replaced on Tuesday night during Coventry City's 2-1 defeat at Swansea City after feeling his calf muscle pop.

Boothroyd confirmed to the CT: "He said he felt his calf pop and obviously that sort of language doesn't sound very good.

"We had a lot of players unavailable at Swansea and it looks like it could be one more on Saturday. These things happen; you have to ride it out."

"We're getting our run of injuries now but we have to hope that by the end of the season everybody is fit and flying and we'll be picking up three points on a regular basis."

Fourteen players missed training yesterday
Coventry City boss Aidy Boothroyd faces a challenge putting a side together for tomorrows trip to Bristol as his squad is being ravished by injuries.

Martin Cranie (ankle) and David Bell (hamstring) missed the home game with Leicester last week after pulling out of the squad at the last minute and are still highly doubtful for Saturday.

Strikers Gary McSheffrey (hamstring) and Lukas Jutkiewicz (knee) both limped off during the Leicester game and are also likely to miss out. Danny Ward had to be replaced on Tuesday night at Swansea and is nursing a minor injury.

Already out of contention were striker Freddy Eastwood (knee) and defender James McPake (shin). Chris Hussey, Stephen O'Halloran, Gary Deegan and Isaac Osbourne are all out with long term injuries.

Emergency loan signing goal keeper Iain Turner has returned to Everton after his one month loan period expired.

On a more positive note, Gary McSheffrey may be fit enough by Saturday and will train today. Ward will have a late fitness test and if he passes, will be in the City side to face Bristol.



Some massive bad luck I'd say!
