Coventry City team news: Cardiff City player set to miss game

When the Sky Blues meet Cardiff, there may be a few important absences and additions to the matchday roster.

Coventry City have looked like a side who are so close to their full potential.

They have come so close to accomplishing their results and goals so far this season, but were unable to complete the task. The fact that they haven’t yet entirely gelled should have been expected given the losses of Viktor Gyökeres and Gustavo Hamer.

However, as the season goes on, the newcomers will start to settle in more, and they have a few important players returning from injuries.

Tonight they play Cardiff City, who are coming off a fantastic performance against Welsh rivals Swansea City. In the South Wales derby, they took a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from captain Aaron Ramsey and substitute Ollie Tanner.

It might be a difficult game for the visitors because the Bluebirds have won two of their past three games. Fans’ confidence won’t be boosted by Coventry’s four straight draws, and one important player will likely miss further games.

Before the team’s 1-1 draw with Hull, Ben Sheaf suffered a groin strain in practice, forcing him to miss that match. According to Coventry Live, the team will probably be without the 25-year-old for a few weeks.

The midfielder had participated in every minute of action for the Sky Blues in the Championship prior to Friday night’s game. Sheaf might be away from the team for five straight games if you count the games he has already missed due to injury and the ones he will soon miss.

 

Josh Eccles and Captain Liam Kelly are anticipated to fill in for Sheaf once more.

The matchday squad will also include the return of two international players. After missing the previous game, Kasey Palmer and Joel Latibeaudiere, according to Coventry Live, should be able to play against the Bluebirds tonight. Due to the lengthy trips the two had to take with the Jamaican national team, they were allowed time off to rest.

Callum O’Hare has resumed full contact training, according to the Coventry manager. He hasn’t been able to participate in these practices since the holidays because of an ACL tear he sustained during the club’s Boxing Day game the previous year.
