Four changes as Mark Robins names Coventry City team to face Leicester City at the CBS Arena

In order to prepare for Leicester this afternoon, Mark Robins has made four changes to his Coventry City team. Victor Torp, a recent addition, has not yet received his international clearance, while Haji Wright is still injured.

Though he hasn’t played in five weeks, the £2.1 million acquisition from Norwegian team Sarpsborg might not have been implicated in any manner. Wright, the team’s top scorer, has revealed that he has an adductor rupture.

Brad Collins replaces Ben Wilson in goal after the FA Cup win last week. Joel Latibeaudiere and Luis Binks, who both sit out, are replaced by Bobby Thomas and Liam Kitching in the starting lineup. At right and left back, respectively, they are accompanied by Jake Bidwell and Milan van Ewijk, who remain unaltered.

The midfield remains unchanged, with Callum O’Hare starting at number ten and Ben Sheaf and Josh Eccles occupying the deeper holding positions. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is wide on the right in an attacking three, and Kasey Palmer replaces Wright on the left. After Ellis Simms is out, Matty Godden takes his spot in the front.

Jamie Allen and Fabio Tavares offer addition attacking back-up should it be required against the league leaders.

City: Brad Collins; Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Liam Kitching, Jake Bidwell; Ben Sheaf, Josh Eccles, Callum O’Hare; Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Matty Godden, Kasey Palmer.
