Stokes - Hopefully Reda's Injury Is Not Too Bad

Last updated : 17 October 2015 By CNS Staff

Coventry City defender Chris Stokes has said that hopefully Reda Johnson's injury is not too bad.

Johnson limped off with ten minutes left of City's 0-0 with Blackpool and Stokes told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “He said he felt his hamstring which could be anything from one to two weeks to longer but hopefully it’s not too bad.

“He’s vocal and his presence is immense. He gets us out of trouble with his physicality and he’s a massive part of our back four.

“We have been doing really well keeping clean sheets and it’s a shame the back four has to break up.

“He’s helped me massively this season.

“I try to learn off players like him, the way he talks me through games and I know that if I make a mistake he’s there behind me, covering for me.

“I also know that when he passes the ball to me it’s absolutely perfect, so it’s a big blow to lose a player like that.”
