Coventry's Conor Chaplin is set to be absent for his side's Sky Bet League One clash against Bristol Rovers.
Chaplin has not featured since mid-February because of an ankle problem. He is back in training, but the game on Sunday is likely to come too soon for the attacker. Forward Max Biamou and midfielder Jodi Jones both continue their recovery from knee problems.
Chris Lines and Alex Rodman could return for Bristol Rovers. Lines has been out of action since the beginning of last month, while Rodman has not featured since February.
But the duo were back in training on Friday, with manager Graham Coughlan to take a late decision on their fitness. Defender Joe Partington is pushing for a starting place as he continues his recovery from knee and calf injuries.
Coventry have won 10 of their last 12 home league games against Bristol Rovers (D2), last tasting defeat in January 1928.
Bristol Rovers have never kept a clean sheet in 14 league visits to Coventry City, conceding 35 goals in total (avg 2.5 per game).
Coventry have only lost two of their last 10 games in League One (W5 D3), only failing to score in one fixture during this run (0-1 v Oxford in March).
Bristol Rovers have suffered just one defeat in their last nine away league games (W5 D3), however that did come on their most recent away trip (1-4 v Doncaster).
Jordy Hiwula-Mayifuila has netted nine league goals for Coventry in 2018-19, while he's never previously scored 10 in a single campaign in the Football League.
