Bell To Return For City

Last updated : 20 November 2009 By Covsupport News Service

David Bell looks likely to be back in the Coventry City side when the Sky Blues take on Crystal Palace at the Ricoh Arena tomorrow (3pm).

The winger, played well in a central midfield role for City Reserves against Oxford United last week and is expected to be given a wide role on the opposite flank to Michael McIndoe.


"They are both good with the ball," said Chris Coleman to the CT. " Belly can cross with his left or right while Michael is predominantly left-footed of course, but with a bit of luck that will balance that out."

Jack Cork and Aron Gunnarsson who both were away on international duty are expected to be the central midfield pairing.

Richard Wood, who joined on an initial loan will get his debut and partner Leon Barnett in defence whilst Dimi Konstantopolous looks set to keep his place in goal as Keiren Westwood is being reported as still struggling with a back injury.

For Palace, former Coventry City striker Stern John is expected to start.

The Surrey based side are without Sean Scannell (injured on international duty) and have doubts over Calvin Andrew and Paddy McCarthy.
