Coventry face goalkeeper quandary ahead of trip to Notts County

Posted Friday, April 06, 2018 by PA

Notts County manager Kevin Nolan is expected to make changes against Coventry as he attempts to get his side’s promotion challenge back on track.

Nolan swapped seven players at Accrington on Monday, recalling Carl Dickinson, Matty Virtue, Liam Walker, Noor Husin, Rob Milsom, Ben Hall and Jonathan Forte, who started as a lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

The Magpies lost to the league leaders so the likes of Shaun Brisley, Dan Jones, Elliott Hewitt, Terry Hawkridge, Liam Noble, Shola Ameobi and Jon Stead will all be vying for recalls.

Jorge Grant is also a fresh option after starting the last two matches on the substitute’s bench.

Coventry have problems in goal as they prepare for the trip to Meadow Lane.

Goalkeepers Lee Burge (knee) and Liam O’Brien, who each conceded three goals on Monday as the Sky Blues were beaten 6-2 at home by Yeovil, are both nursing injuries and will be assessed.

Corey Addai, 20, who has been on loan at non-league Dulwich Hamlet, is on stand-by to play.

Midfielder Carl Baker (illness) is also being monitored while Maxime Biamou staked his claim for a starting place with both of Coventry’s goals against Yeovil following his introduction from the bench.
