Boss Aidy waits on King

18 October 2010 15:00
Coventry boss Aidy Boothroyd will hope to have Marlon King back in his ranks for the visit of Cardiff. The striker failed to recover from his thigh injury in time for Saturday`s 2-1 victory at Ipswich but is expected to return to contention against Dave Jones` second-placed Bluebirds. King`s comeback presents Boothroyd with a welcome dilemma having watched Clive Platt and Lukas Jutkiewicz combine to bag the goals which secured the club`s first victory at Portman Road since 1994, with the Sky Blues boss admitting "it's a nice problem to have". Boothroyd was thrilled with the manner of Coventry`s victory at the weekend and could well be tempted to name an unchanged line-up with no new injury or suspension problems to contend with. However, his remaining list of absentees all continue to miss out including Danny Ward, Freddy Eastwood, David Bell, Chris Hussey, Gary Deegan and Stephen O`Halloran. Former Sky Blues strikers Craig Bellamy and Jay Bothroyd return to the midlands club and could partner each other in attack for Cardiff, with the former rested for City`s 3-2 victory over Bristol City on Saturday bearing in mind just three days separate the two games.
