Rod McDonald is fit to take his place in Coventry's defence against Wycombe.
The centre-back went off at half-time against Cheltenham last time out with a shoulder injury but is fit to face the Chairboys. Cruciate ligament victims Jodi Jones and Tony Andreu remain sidelined along with Liam Kelly (heel).
Young defender Darragh Leahy has returned to his native Republic of Ireland after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent, while Reading forward Josh Barrett will join on loan in January.
Wycombe will give a late fitness test to Marcus Bean. The midfielder is hoping to return from injury at the Ricoh Arena after missing last weekend's victory over Chesterfield.
Nathan Tyson (knee) could feature again having made his first start in more than two months against the Spireites, while fellow forward Scott Kashket (pelvis) has returned to training and is closing in on his first appearance of the season. Long-term absentees Michael Harriman (broken leg) and Josh Umerah (ankle) remain out.
This will be the first meeting between Coventry City and Wycombe Wanderers in the English Football League.
These sides did meet twice in the EFL Trophy last season; Coventry won both encounters by an aggregate score of 6-3. Indeed, the Sky Blues have beaten Wycombe in three consecutive fixtures in since 2014/15 (all in the EFL Trophy).
Wycombe Wanderers are in fourth place coming in to this weekend, with 37 points on the board - the fourth successive season that they have won 35+ points after 22 league games.
Coventry City have conceded just six goals in the second half of League Two matches this season; fewer than any other side.
