Hanson banned for Coventry clash

James Hanson continues to serve his suspension as Oxford host Coventry in League One on Sunday.

The striker has two games of his ban left after his red card in the Carabao Cup last week.

Goalkeeper Simon Eastwood (dislocated finger) and forward Rob Hall (knee) continue to miss out, along with Samir Carruthers.

Boss Karl Robinson should recall a number of his big guns after making changes for the Checkatrade Trophy win over Fulham’s Under-21s.

Coventry will be without Chelsea loanee Dujon Sterling.

Sterling has been called up to the England Under-20 squad for the games against Switzerland and Holland.

Max Biamou faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after having an operation on a knee injury, but Liam Kelly is back in training after a recent injury.

Conor Chaplin will be pushing for a start after his move from Portsmouth while Amadou Bakayoko can play after turning down a call-up from Sierra Leone.
