The team’s drop to 16th in the Championship table, four points outside of the play-off spots, was caused by a loss to Bristol City.
After ninety minutes, Robert Dickie’s early goal in the second half was sufficient to separate the two teams.
Despite possessing 69% of the ball and only managing one shot on goal during the entire match, Coventry was unable to create a chance to win.
This outcome put a stop to the team’s four-game league winning streak and handed Robins’ squad their third defeat of the year.
What’s the most recent injury news for Coventry City?
After missing Saturday’s defeat to City, Robins stated that Jamie Allen’s injury shouldn’t keep him out of the game for too long.
This season, Allen has already shown his value, and the Coventry manager is optimistic that, despite suffering a training-ground injury, he may even be able to rejoin the team in the middle of the week.
According to Robins, via Coventry Live, “He’s done his calf but I am hopeful that he will be able to train in the next 24/48 hours.”
However, I must wait and observe. It’s not that horrible at all. When he went for a run the previous weekend, he felt it tighten. On Monday, he felt well enough to work out, but he only lasted 30 minutes before ending the workout because he felt something. Thus, it appears that he has made a minor adjustment.
After missing the beginning of the new semester because of a cardiac crisis, Allen returned to the team in mid-September and had an immediate impact.
The midfielder’s contributions were crucial to Coventry’s recent four-game winning streak, which put them back in the running for the playoffs.
Over the past few seasons, the 28-year-old has been a vital member of the Robins squad, helping them go to the play-off final the year before.
Coventry’s early form this year hasn’t been quite as impressive, but they are still firmly in the mix in the battle for Premier League promotion.
