Coventry boosted by return of Adam Armstrong

Coventry welcome back Adam Armstrong from international duty with England Under-19s as Blackpool visit the Ricoh Arena.

The eight-goal top scorer returns with England Under-20 duo Bryn Morris and Ryan Kent also back in fold.

Midfielder Ivor Lawton has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a serious knee injury in an under-21 game with Crystal Palace on Monday.

Boss Tony Mowbray told a press conference: "The Scunthorpe game was a game when Adam didn't really impact on it after international duty, so we have to be mindful of that and assess how they are and talk to them to see if they make the starting line-up."

In-form Blackpool remain without Lloyd Jones.

The central defender, on a season-long loan from Liverpool, underwent an operation on his ankle earlier this month and is not expected to return until 2016.

Kyle Letheren (finger), Henry Cameron (knee) and David Norris (calf) all missed the Johnstone's Paint Trophy contest with Port Vale, but the fact the Seasiders had no game last weekend may have allowed them to recover from their respective issues.

Neil McDonald's men are chasing a fourth straight win in all competitions, having won only four games all of last season.
