Last updated : 13 August 2007 By Covsupport
Coventry City will be without Kevin Thornton and Donovan Simmonds for the first reserve league game of the season next Wednesday at Stoke City.

The midfielder will be out for six to eight weeks after having his ankle stamped on during the friendly at Bedworth whilst Simmonds injured his ligaments during the same game and could be out for the same amount of time.

Elliott Ward and Michael Doyle are suspended for the reserve game after their dismissals in pre-season.
