Mark Robins Fear the worst sets up a scan for the Coventry City star.

Sky Blues manager Mark Robins reveals injury facts and provides his thoughts on tonight’s play at the CBS Arena in CoventryLive’s Coventry City match reaction.

Ben Sheaf, the Coventry City manager, may be sidelined for several weeks following an injury he sustained in the first 10 minutes of the match against Bristol City. Mark Robins will wait to find out the full nature of the player’s condition through a scan.

After a lackluster effort, the Sky Blues salvaged a point from a 2-2 tie with the Robins at CBS Arena, but their captain hobbled off. The manager said, “Hamstring,” when asked what Sheaf had done. We fell short of the expectations we set, and it seems like we played two games on a very heavy surface last week. I assume he has a tear, which ultimately dampened things.

Since the games come thick and fast and you don’t always have the time you need, I wanted to give them some time to heal. Additionally, the team we were playing against is very winning—they recently drew with Forest and defeated West Ham in the cup. And they operate all day according to how they set up.

“They have a lot of quality in the team and we didn’t show our quality enough. Our two goals were decent but their two goals were really poor; second phase of a set play and a shot from Nahki Wells, who is a really good finisher, but we gave him far too much time and space.”

Coventry took the lead through Tatsuhiro Sakamoto before Bristol pulled level before the break through Rob Dickie. The visitors then went in front in the 83rd minute through Wells before Ellis Simms pulled level three minutes later.

Asked for more detail on Sheaf’s injury, Robins added: “He came out of midfield and tried to get after them and he ended up just sitting on the floor. He said he felt a pop, which suggests he’s torn it.

Since there haven’t been many injuries lately, it’s sod’s law. We have to deal with the fact that he was absent earlier in the season. We have to start over since he was absent for four to six weeks previously, I guess. The games are getting harder, and if we make it through the FA Cup, we’ll play 11 games in 43 days, which is amazing considering our small team.

“You have to treat the symptoms rather than the scan result; he will have a scan, and the results will indicate how long it will take.”

When asked if he believed it would take at least a month, he replied, “I don’t know because it might be longer.” It depends on if a tendon is implicated or if it’s a grade two. Something could be the cause if it’s a bad one.
