Coventry City have concerns over Jordan Clarke ahead of tomorrow night's FA Cup Second Round Replay with Hartlepool United at Sixfields.

Clarke was injured making a superb last ditch tackle to ensure that City took a 2-2 draw from Saturday's game against Crewe Alexandra and he told the Coventry Telegraph's Alan Poole: "I got smashed on my ankle but I didn’t care because I just wanted to make up for the first one.

“My whole right foot is swollen from my metatarsal to the top of my ankle and there are stud marks on it but I had it strapped up after the game so we’ll have to see how it goes. I think it will be OK.”

Joe Murphy played the Crewe game after turning on his ankle in training but should be again ok to play. Pressley said about Murphy: “Joe Murphy turned his ankle in the last minute of training on Friday and for a while it looked touch and go. We would have been struggling because Lee Burge is also carrying an injury but Joe insisted on playing."

Callum Wilson had a foot injury but he played against Crewe and will also be in the squad for the game which kicks off at 7.45pm.
