Coventry City face a crucial summer of change as work continues behind the scenes in preparation for the 2023/24 campaign.
For the players, however, it is an opportunity to rest and recuperate – something which will be especially welcome for those who have been struggling with injuries in recent weeks and throughout the course of the season. Having key men like
Palmer and Kyle McFadzean sidelined for significant spells added to the challenges the Sky Blues faced in their third season back in the Championship when they unexpectedly sneaked into the play-off final.
City will hope for better fortune on that front next term. Following last week’s publication of the club’s retained list, here is a look at the injury state of play concerning those still on the books.
What we know: Very little to be honest other than Mark Robins first mentioned in his post Wembley press conference that the striker had been carrying an injury towards the end of the regular season and during the play-off campaign, including during the play-off final against Luton Town.
What’s been said: Robins revealed after City’s Wembley defeat: “He’s been carrying an injury for the last two or three weeks, so he’s been laid low and had injections and things to get through the game, so we were looking and hoping a little bit that he didn’t get clattered again because it’s really impeded him for a few weeks now.”
