Sky Blues wait on trio

Coventry will assess Lee Carsley, Sammy Clingan and Ben Turner ahead of the visit of Swansea. Skipper Carsley (Achilles and hernia surgery), fellow midfielder Clingan and centre-back Ben Turner (both knee) are each on the verge of making their long-awaited returns, with Turner the longest absentee having not played since early November. Speaking ahead of Tuesday`s encounter against the Swans, Sky Blues manager Aidy Boothroyd said: "I`m hopeful of having three back for the game, I`ll be very, very disappointed if we don`t have one back." That one is likely to be Clingan who is the most advanced in his recovery having got through 30 minutes of a practice match unscathed on Thursday. However, central defender James McPake (lower back complaint) remains in the treatment room. With Coventry not playing over the weekend, Boothroyd completed a scouting mission on Swansea as they comfortably brushed aside an injury-ravaged Doncaster 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium. And he knows his charges will have their work cut out against a side only narrowly out of the top two on goal difference.
