Fleck set for Sky Blues return

John Fleck could return for Coventry against Colchester after sitting out the draw at Notts County on Monday.

The midfielder was sidelined with a knee injury at Meadow Lane but boss Tony Mowbray is hopeful he can return for the trip to Essex.

Dominic Samuel is out for the rest of the season with a fractured ankle, forcing him to return to parent club Reading, and Reda Johnson is still a doubt with a torn muscle.

Coventry are just a point above the Sky Bet League One relegation zone, sitting 17th in the table.

Colchester skipper David Fox is hoping his season has not been cut short by a foot injury which looks set to keep him out when the Sky Blues visit.

Midfielder Fox, who has missed the last two matches, is awaiting the results of a second X-ray after cracking a bone in his foot in the recent draw at Gillingham.

Defender Matthew Briggs will return to contention after a two-match ban for his sending-off in the same match, while midfielder Tosin Olufemi (Achilles) is hoping to return to the squad following a nine-month injury lay-off.

The U's moved to within two points of safety after extending their unbeaten run to four matches with Monday's win against Barnsley.
