Coventry v Millwall preview

Team news for Tuesday night's Championship clash between Coventry City and Millwall at the Ricoh Arena.

Coventry manager Andy Thorn is keeping his cards close to his chest when it comes to injury news.

Only a handful of players involved in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Burnley trained on Monday morning, with a coy Thorn remaining tight-lipped over the possible involvement of those who did not take part.

The Sky Blues go into the encounter knowing victory is a must if they are to close the four-point gap to safety with just three matches remaining.

Cyrus Christie has, however, been ruled out for the rest of the season after it was revealed he requires surgery on the knee ligament injury which forced him off at Turf Moor, leaving City to play the final stages with only 10 men.

He joins fellow defenders Nathan Cameron, Richard Wood (both knee), Hermann Hreidarsson (shoulder) and midfielder Carl Baker (hamstring) on the sidelines until the end of the campaign.

Coventry could be relegated on Tuesday if they lose and Bristol City win at home to West Ham.

Darius Henderson could return to the Millwall squad for the trip.

The Lions' 19-goal top scorer has missed the last three matches with a calf injury but is edging closer to fitness.

However, if Henderson is available he is likely to have to make do with a place on the bench due to the fine form of Harry Kane and Andy Keogh in his absence.

Both were on target in the 2-1 win over Leicester on Saturday while Tottenham loanee Kane grabbed the only goal at Portsmouth last Tuesday.

Midfielders Therry Racon (ankle) and Tamika Mkandawire (knee) are still out along with back-up goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall (ankle) as Millwall go in search of their fourth successive league win.
