New Coventry City loanees Chris Hussey and Gary Madine are both on the bench for tonight's Championship game at Cardiff City.

Both completed their loan moves to the Ricoh Arena yesterday and have travelled with the squad.

Speaking about the loanees, Chris Coleman said to the CT: "Chris trained with us yesterday. "He didn't look overawed and enjoyed himself and although he won't be starting the game he could figure.

"Gary Madine also trained yesterday. "He's on loan with us until January but, again, he is one for the future.

"He is not ready to come and burst on to the scene but we will monitor him over the next two months to see if he likes us and see if he is capable of making the step up.

"I hope he is because sometimes this is the best way to sign a player. "He's a big lad, strong in the air and good feet for a big fellow. "He hasn't quite filled out yet but he attacks the ball very well and has just got that little something."
