Doyle loses appeal against FA ban
Michael Doyle
Michael Doyle - three games out
New Coventry City manager Chris Coleman will be without captain Michael Doyle for his first three matches in charge.

The Irish midfielder has lost his appeal against the red card he received in Saturday's 5-0 FA Cup thumping at home to West Bromwich Albion.

Doyle, dismissed for a foul on Zoltan Gera, will now begin his ban with Saturday's home game against Leicester.

The City captain will also be suspended for next week's trips to Burnley and Scunthorpe United.
