Coventry wait on Sordell and Thomas
Coventry boss Tony Mowbray is sweating on the fitness of Marvin Sordell and Kwame Thomas for the visit of Bury.
Striker Sordell missed Saturday's 0-0 draw against Shrewsbury with a muscle injury while Thomas was stretchered off with a groin problem after coming on as a second-half substitute.
Defender Chris Stokes will miss the first few weeks of the season with a knee injury.
But Chris McCann is available to make his Sky Blues debut after serving a three-game suspension for being sent off while playing for Wigan last season.
Bury could be without Craig Jones as they aim to avenge last season's 6-0 drubbing at Coventry.
The right-back injured his foot in Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Gillingham and will be assessed ahead of the trip.
New signing Niall Maher is likely to make his first start for the Shakers should Jones fail to recover in time.
Wingers Zeli Ismail and Danny Mayor impressed off the bench at Priestfield and could come into manager David Flitcroft's thinking.
