One or two back soon as Coventry City months away from having strongest matchday squad
Coventry City have suffered from injury misfortune in recent weeks, months – and years! – but hopefully there’s a bit of light at the end of the tunnel
First it was Raphael Borges Rodrigues. Then it was Ben Sheaf. Next up the luckless Tatsuhiro Sakamoto who limped away from the CBS Arena in a protective ankle boot against Norwich, forcing him to sit out the following match, before being stretchered off after just ten minutes against Blackburn Rovers with a deep gash to a knee.
Then there was Jamie Allen whose knee gave way against Swansea, the midfielder suffering serious ligament damage before, most recently, Jake Bidwell limped off against Sheffield Wednesday following a crunching tackle that has left the rugged full-back with a knee ligament injury.
The Sky Blues have had at least one first team player in the treatment room in recent years – Callum O’Hare missing for nine months with an ACL, Fabio Tavares a year out with a ruptured Achilles tendon, Sakamoto three months with a broken back, Jamie Allen with a heart scare and later fracture cheekbone… The list goes on.
