The injuries to Coventry City duo Leon Best and Aron Gunnarsson are not bad as first feared, says Chris Coleman.

Speaking to the CT, Coleman said: "Leon's knee is really badly swollen and he's had a freak bleed in his ligament so we have got to wait for that to die down, but we don't think there is major ligament damage, although he may have a little tear in one but we don't think it is as bad as we first thought. "But he is not going to be ready for at least a couple of weeks, so that's disappointing for us.

"We think Aron will be another two to three weeks if we are lucky. "It wasn't as bad as we first thought but, never-the-less it was bad enough to keep him out for too long for our liking."

"But it is an area where we are looking to strengthen before we get Gunnarsson and Clingan back."
