Virus In The City Squad

Last updated : 09 February 2018 By CNS Sport

A number of Coventry City players have been suffering from one of the many viruses going round at the moment.

Many City supporters, have had flu, coughs and colds and now the bug appears to have spread to Ryton with City boss Mark Robins telling the Coventry Observer: “A virus going round has been an issue this week.

"Today we have to count numbers and make sure everybody’s okay. 

"There are numbers suffering.”

The Sky Blues go into the game without the services of defender Tom Davies who broke his collar bone in the defeat at Forest Green Rovers last Saturday and Jack Grimmer with a hamstring injury and Mark Robins this morning refused to go into any more detail as to who may or not make the game against Accrington Stanley, which will be City's biggest home attendance of the season so far after 14,000 tickets were given to schools etc and admission prices were dropped to £5 in advance.
