Coventry City left back Marcus Hall has backed fellow Coventrian and left back Stuart Giddings in his bid to get back to full fitness.

Hall who said he is in the best form of his Coventry City career told the CET: "Obviously Gids is having a bit of bad luck still and I don't wish that on him at all and I want him to be fit so that we are both fighting for the position.

"But at the moment I am trying my best to keep myself fit because the manager hasn't got another left-back. " I feel I am doing reasonably well so hopefully even when Stuart is fit I can keep my place and keep playing to the standards that I have set.

"I do hope Gids gets fit sooner rather than later because I have been in that position before when you have so many injuries and it can get to you, but hopefully he is on his way back now, so fingers crossed."
