Coventry City will need to evaluate the fitness of three players before their upcoming match against Blackburn Rovers as manager Mark Robins also honored Kyle McFadzean.

Following a defeat to Hull City earlier in the week, Robins acknowledged that his squad was battling fatigue and injuries in preparation for the weekend fixture.

After facing Manchester United and Hull City, with another midweek game following their trip to Ewood Park, Coventry is anxiously monitoring the condition of Luis Binks, Joel Latibeaudiere, and Victor Torp, while Fabio Tavares is sidelined.

Saturday marks McFadzean’s first encounter with his former team, a moment Robins eagerly anticipates. Reflecting on McFadzean’s contribution, Robins praised his character and impact during his time at the club.

Despite falling short of the play-off race this season, Coventry approach the Blackburn clash with diminished stakes. Robins reiterated his admiration for the commitment shown by his players amidst challenging circumstances.

While acknowledging moments of pride, Robins expressed a tinge of disappointment at not meeting certain objectives. He recognized the inevitable difficulties faced when transitioning from a period of sustained success to a more challenging phase.

Emphasizing the physical and mental demands placed on the team due to a congested fixture schedule, Robins commended the players’ resilience and effort in reaching high performance levels.

Looking ahead, Robins stressed the importance of reflection at the season’s end to assess progress, identify areas for improvement, and set goals for the upcoming campaign.
