bad report,just now:Palmer added to Robins’ Coventry injury list…
Kasey Palmer has not scored for Coventry since January Injury-hit Coventry City suffered another setback after losing frontman Kasey Palmer to a thigh injury.
Sky Blues boss Mark Robins said the 26-year-old Jamaica international will be out for eight weeks with a groin injury. It comes after midfielder Ben Sheaf and Dutch defender Milan van Ewijk were also sidelined with thigh injuries.
In addition, the Rubies are still without long-term victim Callum O’and#039;Hare. Oand#039;Hare has been out for nine months after having surgery to tear his anterior cruciate ligament after being injured on pit day at Bramall Lane.
andquot;We are clearly down in midfield,andquot; Robins told BBC CWR. andquot;Kasey Palmer has an adduction tear.
It lasts six to eight weeks. andquot;It’s the same injury as Ben Sheaf did in his training.andquot; andquot;They are all the same length. Milan can be faster.andquot; Van Ewijk suffered a torn quadriceps muscle in last Tuesday’s 3-2 defeat at Cardiff ahead of Monday’s 1-1 draw with Darren Moore and Huddersfield.
andquot;The injuries to Milan, Ben Sheaf and Kasey Palmer were a blow,andquot; said Trash. andquot;Jamie Allen has had half an hour back but, without rushing them, we need the others back as fast as we can. andquot;Callum Oand#039;Hare as well. Heand#039;s back in training but he needs some game time in the under-21s. Itand#039;s still a bit too soon for him.andquot; City managed without Oand#039;Hare for all but 11 games in 2022-23, after his knee injury came on top of missing the first two months of the campaign with a hamstring problem. But that was in small part down to the form of Brazil-born Dutchman Gustavo Hamer, who was sold to Sheffield United for a seven-figure fee on 12 August. Only two of the Sky Bluesand#039; 11 summer signings, before the window closed on 1 September, were midfielders – Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Tuesdayand#039;s scorer, on-loan Yasin Ayari.
andquot;Iand#039;m not making excuses,andquot; said Robins. andquot;We just donand#039;t have the numbers to make changes. You play with the cards youand#039;re dealt. andquot;They will turn it round, but itand#039;s very painful getting there.andquot; Coventry, who have now drawn five of their first eight Championship games this season, next visit Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
