Coventry will again be without 12-goal striker David McGoldrick and fellow loanee James Bailey for their FA Cup second-round tie at home to Morecambe.

McGoldrick and midfielder Bailey, on loan from Nottingham Forest and Derby respectively, were both denied permission by their parent clubs to feature in the first-round triumph over non-league Arlesey.

However, fellow loanees Blair Adams, Callum Ball, Jamie Reckord, Conor Henderson and Reece Brown have all been given the go-ahead.

Back-up goalkeeper Chris Dunn could well get the nod ahead of Joe Murphy, who may not be risked due to a niggling shoulder injury.

Midfielder John Fleck and striker Stephen Elliott, fit again after a toe injury, both staked their claims for involvement with appearances for City's Under-21 side in midweek.

The likes of Cody McDonald, Adam Barton, Roy O'Donovan, Jordan Clarke and Nathan Cameron will also be pushing for starting places.
