Kasey Palmer
The playmaker and one of the most creative players in the squad suffered the same adductor tear injury as Ben Sheaf, believed to be in the 3-2 defeat at Cardiff City back in September. Ruled out with an initial prognosis of six-eight weeks, Palmer has been missing for nine long games to date.
Coventry City boss Mark Robins was boosted by the return of two senior players this week as he prepares his Championship side for the trip to 15th placed Millwall. The manager is close to having a fully fit squad for the first time this season with just a couple of players currently out of team action, and their returns not too far away.
The Sky Blues have seen the much anticipated recovery of star midfielder Callum O’Hare in recent weeks, with the 25-year-old coming off the bench in the last four matches and, last week getting through his first 90 minutes in an Under-21s game, as he works towards his first start since Boxing Day last year. Meanwhile, midfielder Liam Kelly was back in the matchday squad against Stoke just before the latest international break, albeit as an unused sub, after recovering from a hamstring strain that sidelined him for six games. He also featured in the development squad match on Friday night.
However, injuries are an occupational hazard and the next casualty is never too far away. There has also been illness in the camp recently, while Kyle McFadzean has had time off for compassionate leave following the loss of his mother. Here’s a round-up of City’s injuries and absentees and when they’re expected
back.
