Coventry vs Peterborough preview
Friday 23 November 2018 11:53, UK
Coventry continue to be without Dujon Sterling and Max Biamou ahead of the visit of Peterborough.
On-loan Chelsea right-back Sterling has damaged ankle ligaments and Biamou is sidelined with a serious knee injury. Jordan Ponticelli is close to a comeback after scoring for the Under-23s before his likely return to Macclesfield.
The forward netted against Millwall this week after suffering a broken bone in his foot on his loan debut for Macclesfield in September.
Cameroon defender Sebastien Bassong is in line for his league debut for Peterborough. The former Norwich and Tottenham centre-back is yet to make a league appearance but played in the Checkatrade Trophy win over Luton.
Posh have a full squad of players to choose from ahead of the game at the Ricoh. Boss Steve Evans has hinted he will "freshen up" the side which drew with Bradford last weekend.
