Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is a long-term absentee for the Sky Blues, while it looks like Jamie Allen won’t feature after picking up a calf injury not long after recovering from a fractured cheekbone.

A big miss will be Kasey Palmer, who is suspended after collecting another yellow in the quarter-final versus Wolves, though Coventry have been boosted by the recent return of Matty Godden, in more positive news.

Key player: Coventry
