Coventry City assistant head coach Joe Edwards has confirmed that defender Bobby Thomas has been nursing a calf problem and will need to be assessed before the game against Norwich City on Monday (20:00 GMT).

The 24-year-old has missed the past three games for Coventry after picking up a straight red card in added time during their 3-2 loss to Birmingham in January.

However, Edwards has suggested Thomas may not have been available over his suspension regardless.

"Bobby actually had a calf issue as well as the suspension so he probably didn't really miss any games because he would have definitely missed a couple of those with the issue," Edwards told BBC Radio CWR.

"He's back with the group but we will have assess it over the next few days to see if he's available for the game."

Right-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden is also back training after missing the past three games with an ankle injury and could make his return against the Canaries.
