Coventry City XI vs Plymouth Argyle – Predicted lineup and team news
Coventry head to Devon looking to put their Premier League return in perspective, having been beaten 3-0 by champions Arsenal on an afternoon that saw seven players make their top-flight debuts.
Frank Lampard’s side face a Carabao Cup second-round tie against League One opposition just three days later, with a significant Premier League fixture against Hull City to follow at the weekend.
Coventry City team news
Haji Wright remains out with a serious quad injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for a number of weeks, potentially up to three months. Luke Woolfenden’s return to the squad after a month out with a knock has not been confirmed, though Lampard did welcome back Jack Rudoni, who trained fully again last week, having shrugged off a shoulder issue. There were no fresh fitness concerns to emerge from the defeat at Arsenal.
Taiwo Awoniyi, whose £17 million move from Nottingham Forest was completed shortly before the season began, is expected to be given a first start for the club. “He hasn’t played a great deal during pre-season and is building up his match minutes,” Lampard said, with Ellis Simms and Wright’s continued absence opening the door up front.
Jack Rudoni’s return gives Lampard fully available options in midfield alongside new signing Gustav Hamer, who rejoined the club permanently this summer. With the Hull fixture looming, Lampard is expected to make wholesale changes from the side beaten at the Emirates, while still fielding a group capable of seeing off lower-league opposition.
Coventry City predicted lineup
Coventry City possible starting XI (4-5-1): Wilson; Kitching, Bidwell, Thomas, Dasilva; Sakamoto, Yirenkyi, Rudoni, Torp, Hamer; Awoniyi
