Coventry City manager Chris Coleman says he is close to knowing his starting eleven for Sunday's opening Championship game against Ipswich Town at the Ricoh Arena.

Coleman is hoping to get three players in before the start of the season and told the CT: "It is just up to us that when the referee blows the whistle on Sunday that we are up for it and prepared, no matter what bodies we have got.

"And I will make sure we are. Mentally we are ready. In terms of numbers we are not and we need to improve on a bit of quality but I have been saying that for some time, so let's hope we are fruitful until the end of the window. It would be nice to get a little bit of fresh impetus before Sunday but we will see. "I think Sunday's line-up was close to my starting eleven."
