Sunderland's situation
Tony Mowbray also has a full medical department. Ross Stewart, hamstring injury, and Corry Evans, ACL, are also out for the season. Lynden Gooch and Elliot Embleton are the other members of the MD.
Speak up, Mark Robins!
"It's no surprise that when we have everyone fit, we have a better chance of running. I don't think we've ever had a lack of confidence. I think fatigue and injuries have played a big part this season, and everybody is going through that. If you listen to Tony Mowbray (Sunderland manager), he has just gone through a period where they played Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday-Tuesday, and now they will play early Saturday.
Everybody is talking about the same thing, rotating their teams, and that also brings risks. It is an interesting moment. It would be brilliant to understand why injuries are happening all over the country, and it's not just muscle injuries.
They (Sunderland) are above us in the table and not far from the top six. I think it's going to be a very good soccer game tomorrow. They have a very young squad, with few players over 30. They are an incredibly talented group. They improved in January by signing Joe Gelhardt, but they also have Patrick Roberts and Amad Diallo, who have made a big difference. Daniel Ballard was also a very good signing."
Probable roster for Coventry
Wilson; McFazdean, McNally, Doyle; Norton-Cuffy, Hamer, Eccles, Bidwell; Allen; Gyokeres, Palmer.
Coventry's situation
Fabio Tavares and Callum O'Hare have both suffered serious hamstring and ACL injuries, respectively, and will not play again this season. Mark Robins is without Ben Sheaf, a calf problem, while Jonathan Panzo is a doubt due to knee pain.

Black Cats
Sunderland have only tasted defeat in one of their last six league games. The midweek defeat to Rotherham United was their first away defeat since October. The Black Cats are in eighth place with 49 points, one behind Luton, the last team in the playoff qualification zone.
