Sod’s law dictates that Coventry City will inevitably suffer another serious injury in the same, extended section of the field as they recover from the previous one. After missing six weeks due to a hamstring strain, Ben Sheaf’s comeback was much-needed. The 26-year-old traveled to Watford with the Sky Blues team over the weekend and was placed among the substitutes with the intention of gradually acclimating him back.
However, Mark Robins remains short on numbers and choices in the center of the pitch towards the business end of the season as a muscular issue with fellow midfielder Victor Torp led to a like-for-like change in the 58th minute.
