A number of first team players may miss Coventry City’s final three games of the season, which is more bad news for the team.
With three games remaining and nine points behind Norwich City, the Sky Blues have a mathematical chance to make the playoffs this season, even if they would need to perform a miracle. Their chances have undoubtedly been hurt by their current three-game losing streak, and the FA Cup matchup with Manchester United may have been on the players’ minds lately.
They hosted fellow play-off contenders Hull City on Wednesday night, but despite twice coming back from behind, they would lose as Noah Ohio’s goal for the Tigers in the 78th minute left Coventry unable to respond. Several players appeared to have been eliminated from the team after Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final, which was decided by penalties. The outcome virtually guaranteed their spot in the Championship.
Even worse, four players have sustained injuries in the past week that may keep them out of the game for the remainder of the campaign. The Sky Blues have one of the busiest run-ins in the second division with three games remaining in the next ten days, so rotation will undoubtedly be in place.
This has been made more difficult by the fact that Victor Torp and Fabio Tavares, who were both out from Wednesday’s match against Hull, are unlikely to return to the starting lineup in the next ten days, particularly the former.
Following the defeat to Hull City, Robins reviewed the injury list in an interview with Coventry Live.”Fabio Tavares has to see a surgeon about his ankle. Due to ligament injury, we must determine if surgery is necessary for him. That will probably be completed tomorrow, a Thursday.
Victor was in too much discomfort to play (against Hull) because he had ripped a stomach muscle. It appears to be where his hip is attached, in my opinion.
Wednesday night’s forced exits of Joel Latibeaudiere and Luis Binks presented additional selection challenges for Robins.”At the half, Tinksy (Luis Binks) had a tight Achilles tendon; he felt it during the game and had to leave.” I’m not sure how serious that is yet. Joel Latibeaudiere has been dealing with a calf issue for some time now, but today it has somewhat caught up with him.
Although Torp appears to be the most probable of the four to return to the team, he might not be risked at this stage of the season given that he might not have anything left to play for beyond Saturday.
Author’s Perspective
Coventry has experienced a dismal few weeks after suffering a devastating FA Cup loss and seeing its play-off hopes flare up to nothing. However, after this season, the players can still hold their heads high and promise to return next year with even more fire.
The Sky Blues will struggle with a diminished squad since the games are coming thick and fast right now, and their final stretch is by no means straightforward. This season has shown some excellent moments, though perhaps not often enough. They have a good chance of succeeding and finishing in the top six because the Championship might appear “easier” the next season.
