Youngsters Drafted In

Last updated : 17 April 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Andy Thorn has had to bring in a number of young players into the squad to face Millwall tonight (Kick Off 7.45pm).

The City boss who will give late fitness tests to Chris Hussey, Sammy Clingan, Gary McSheffrey and Alex Nimely, has drafted in Billy Daniels, Arron Phillips (pictured below) and Shaun Jeffers into the squad.

Thorn could also include Carl Baker who is not fit, just to make up the numbers on the bench.

Cyrus Christie and Gary Deegan are definitely out.

“We had five train yesterday from the weekend and the rest are all touch and go. We just have to wait and see how everyone is today, said Andy Thorn to the CT's Andy Turner.

“The ones who didn’t train are 50-50 but it looks as though two or three won’t make it, but I’m hoping the other two or three will.

"They’ve been having treatment all weekend but they’re not necessarily knocks, they are more tears and pulls and we can’t really do a lot about that.”
