O'Brien back for Fleetwod game

Coventry City captain Jim O'Brien looks set to be in the side for tonight's game at Fleetwood.

O'Brien was substituted in the game against Bradford just over a week ago when he complained of a sore hamstring, but he appears to have overcome the niggle and has travelled with the squad to Fleetwood.

Manager Tony Mobray said, “He trained yesterday and came through that fine so he’ll be in contention.

“He’s an important footballer for us with games coming so thick and fast. If you look back at Jim’s record, the sports science and medical people tell me he’s ran more and played more games than any player at this club and done really well, so sometimes you have to manage that and keep the tank as full as possible rather than run it on empty.

“So hopefully the break, both psychological and physical, will have been good for Jim and hopefully he’s got a very important part to play between now and the end of the season.”
