Tom Bayliss injury doubt for Coventry

Coventry manager Mark Robins could be without the services of midfielder Tom Bayliss for the home game with Blackpool.

Bayliss is struggling with a heel problem and is a major doubt for the visit of the Tangerines.

In better news, right-back Dujon Sterling has recovered from the illness that kept him out of last week’s defeat at Plymouth.

Fellow defender Jordan Willis was hoping to return to training on Friday after being forced to pull out of the Plymouth game at the last minute with an on-going knee problem.

New signing Elias Sorensen will go straight into the Blackpool squad for the trip to Coventry.

The 19-year-old striker has joined on loan from Premier League side Newcastle until the end of the season.

Defender Oliver Turton is in contention for a first appearance since mid-December after enjoying a full week of training.

Goalkeeper Mark Howard will be assessed following the groin injury he suffered during the FA Cup defeat to Arsenal, although replacement Christoffer Mafoumbi has not conceded a goal in the two games he has started in Howard’s absence.
