Coventry vs Rochdale preview - Samuel set for Coventry debut

New Coventry signing Dominic Samuel could make his Sky Blues debut against Rochdale.

The striker joined on loan from Reading until April this week and is expected to go straight into the squad.

Bolton's Sanmi Odelusi is also training with Coventry ahead of a proposed loan move but Gary Madine's loan expires on Friday with the club keen to keep him but they are yet to agree a deal with Sheffield Wednesday.

Danny Pugh remains out with an ankle problem and James Maddison has been told to rest after a back problem.

Rochdale forward Febian Brandy could feature for the first time after being left out of the squad for Monday's FA Cup defeat to Stoke.

Brandy, who recently signed a deal until the end of the season following his release from Rotherham, was an unused substitute in Dale's last league game and is hoping to make his debut for the club.

Manager Keith Hill, who has no new injury or suspension worries and named an unchanged starting line-up against Stoke, could also be tempted to recall midfielder Bastien Hery to his squad.

Dale, currently occupying the last play-off place, are bidding for a third straight league win.
