Sad news as Coventry City boss reveal latest injury update ahead of

Following Coventry City’s 1-0 setback on Saturday, Mark Robins provided some encouraging injury news.

After losing against Bristol City, the team has dropped to 16th in the Championship table, four points outside the play-off places.

After 90 minutes, Robert Dickie’s early second-half goal was enough to separate the two teams.

Despite having 69% of the ball, Coventry were unable to create a chance to win the game, with only one shot on target.

This result interrupted the team’s four-game unbeaten run in the league, delivering Robins’ side their third loss of the season.

What is the latest Coventry City injury news?

However, Robins confirmed that the injury to Jamie Allen shouldn’t keep him out of action for too long after he missed the loss to City on Saturday.

Allen has proven how important he is already this season, and the Coventry boss is hopeful that he could even return to the side midweek after picking up a training ground issue.

“He’s done his calf but I am hopeful that he will be able to train in the next 24/48 hours,” said Robins, via Coventry Live.

“But I have got to wait and see. It’s not anything too bad. He was in last weekend and he did a run and felt it tighten. He felt OK to train on Monday but did half an hour and then dropped out of the session when he felt something in it. So it looks like he’s got a small tweak in there.”

Allen missed the start of the new term due to a health scare involving his heart, but he made a big impact upon his arrival back into the side in mid-September.

The midfielder’s performances were key to the recent four-game unbeaten run that helped lift Coventry back into play-off contention.

The 28-year-old has been a key figure in Robins’ side over the last few seasons, helping the team reach the play-off final in the previous campaign.

How important is Jamie Allen to Coventry City?

Allen is a key player for the side now and his absence was felt on Saturday.

Coventry dominated possession but failed to open up Bristol City enough to create any golden opportunities, further highlighting their issues in front of goal.

It was a disappointing defeat away to a rival for the play-off places, and perhaps Allen’s absence proved important in determining the result.

Coventry’s form is too inconsistent so far this season, with their attack proving to be a real issue in their pursuit of a top six finish at the moment, having scored just 17 from 12 games.
