16 August 2021

Blackpool midfielder Kevin Stewart is expected to miss Tuesday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Coventry due to an ankle problem.

Daniel Gretarsson remains sidelined with a shoulder complaint and Gary Madine has a groin injury.

Marvin Ekpiteta, Josh Bowler and Shayne Lavery will all come into contention having been on the bench in the 2-0 home loss to Cardiff on Saturday.

Matty Virtue and Demetri Mitchell are both long-term knee injury absentees for the hosts.

Tyler Walker will miss out for Coventry due to a shoulder issue.

The former Nottingham Forest striker could be out for three weeks, having picked up the problem in the 1-0 defeat at Barnsley.

Matty Godden is back in training but battling for match sharpness, leaving Viktor Gyokeres and Martyn Waghorn as City’s only fully-fit strikers.

Waghorn has been instructed to take Sky Blues penalties in future by boss Mark Robins, after Gyokeres missed from the sport at Barnsley.
