Gael Bigirimana and Lewis Page return from suspension as Coventry host Scunthorpe.

The pair missed the 1-1 FA Cup draw with Morecambe but could feature for the Sky Blues.

Chris McCann and Vladimir Gadzhev remain sidelined with the former struggling with a hamstring injury while the latter nurses a knee issue.

Chris Stokes continues to sit out for Mark Venus' side, due to a knee injury which has kept the defender out this season.

Striker Tom Hopper is a doubt for leaders Scunthorpe after he was withdrawn during the midweek Checkatrade Trophy win at Cambridge.

Paddy Madden is also doubtful after he limped off midway through his side's 3-1 defeat to Charlton at The Valley last week.

Boss Graham Alexander, whose side take a three-point lead into the weekend, is returning to his hometown.
