Coventry City boss Mark Robins is close to having a fully fit squad for the first time this season with just two senior players now currently out of first team action, and their returns not too far away.

The Sky Blues' manager has been boosted by the much anticipated recovery of star midfielder Callum O'Hare in recent weeks, with the 25-year-old coming off the bench in the last four matches as he works towards his first start since Boxing Day last year. Meanwhile, midfielder Liam Kelly was back in the matchday squad against Stoke at the weekend, albeit an unused sub, after recovering from a hamstring strain that sidelined him for six games.

However, injuries are an occupational hazard and the next casualty is never too far away. There was also illness in the camp last week while Kyle McFadzean has had time off for compassionate leave following the loss of his mother last week. Here's a round-up of City's injuries and absentees and when they're expected back.

Kasey Palmer The playmaker and one of the most creative players in the squad suffered the same adductor tear injury as Ben Sheaf, believed to be in the 3-2 defeat at Cardiff City back in September. Ruled out with an initial prognosis of six-eight weeks, Palmer has been missing for nine long games to date.

However, there's some good news, with Robins revealing: "He'll be back after the international break, and probably training the week into the Millwall game. We're pleased with that. He's turned a corner now, thankfully. We can look forward to him progressing now fairly quickly."

Possible return date: Saturday, November 25 vs Millwall

Possible return date: Unknown at this stage.

Fabio Tavares The young striker ruptured his Achilles tendon in early January in the FA Cup defeat to Wrexham and the projected comeback time was late September/early October. Tavares has been back on the grass for a month and now joining in certain drills with the first team.

Robins said: "Fabio's getting there. He's on the grass and will join in fully after this international break."

Possible return date: Unknown at this stage.
