Christie Ready For Cup Tie

Last updated : 05 November 2013 By Covsupport News Service

Cyrus Christie has declared himself available for selection for Coventry City's FA Cup First Round tie at AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night.

The defender suffered ankle damage in the 1-0 win at Stevenage but has recovered and was on the bench for the 3-0 win over Notts County on Saturday.

Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner, Christie said:“It’s nice to be back,” said the 21-year-old defender , who is two weeks ahead of schedule in his recovery from an injury to his left ankle.

“The gaffer spoke to me on Thursday afternoon and asked if I would be on the bench just in case and I said I would be more than happy to do that.

"At the time I didn’t feel ready to start but on the Friday my ankle was perfectly fine and I felt ready to go if called upon.

“I spoke to the physio, Dave Hart, and he told me to get in a week’s training ahead of the FA Cup game so that’s my target now.

“I wasn’t even supposed to be training this week so I can’t thank Dave enough for the work he’s put into my rehab because it has made my ankle stronger and there’s no pain in it.

“I will get a good week in and if the gaffer wants to start me on Friday then I’ll look forward to it.

“I was meant to be out for six weeks so I am two weeks ahead of that and hopefully I’ll do well in training and get back in the team.”
