King Should Be Fit For Ipswich Trip

Last updated : 07 October 2010 By Covsupport News Service/RD

Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd has confirmed that his latest striker Marlon King will be fit enough to return to first team action by the time the league program starts again a week on Saturday.

Boothroyd said King was left out of the Hull game only as a precaution after sustaining a dead leg against Doncaster.

Boothroyd said to the CT: "Marlon will be fine. We left him out at the weekend as a precaution. It is a long way to go to Hull and we didn't think he would be 100 per cent so that's why we opted to leave him out, but he will definitely be available for selection against Ipswich."

"With the amount of time he has had out I didn't want to risk a more serious injury and then have him out for three or four weeks, but with the international break I thought it was the right thing to do."
