Coventry City manager Mark Robins is facing a tense wait for an update on Jamie Allen’s knee injury. The midfielder was forced off the pitch during the game against Swansea after twisting his knee and was seen leaving the stadium with his knee in a brace and on crutches. Robins has confirmed that Allen has a knee ligament injury, and while the severity is not yet known, it is likely that he will be out for at least a couple of weeks.
This injury comes at a challenging time for Coventry City, as key midfielder Ben Sheaf is still working on returning from an ankle ligament injury sustained in pre-season. With Sheaf needing time to regain his fitness, the team is left with only two fully fit senior midfielders in Josh Eccles and Victor Torp. Joel Latibeaudiere, a versatile defender, also has experience playing in midfield for Jamaica.
Robins had attempted to strengthen the midfield during the summer transfer window, but with the latest injury setback, it is clear that more depth is needed in that area of the pitch. Fans are invited to share their concerns about the midfield situation by clicking on the provided link.
