Coventry City's injury crisis could be easing, with Stephen Wright and Leon McKenzie ready to report fit for Saturday's home game against Ipswich.

Manager Chris Coleman only had 13 first team players to choose from in last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Watford.

But Wright and McKenzie came through a private training ground game this week.

Wright (Achilles) has only completed two matches since his summer move from Sunderland while McKenzie has been out with a torn thigh muscle since October.

Assistant boss Steve Kean told the club's website: "The reason for the match was to see if the lads could play 60 minutes and both came through unscathed."

But skipper Scott Dann is still out with the shoulder injury he sustained in the defeat at Reading on 1 December. And midfielder Guillaume Beuzelin is now due to see a specialist on the knee injury that has kept him out of the last two games.

"Unfortunately, the news was not so good for Guillaume," added Kean. "He will see a surgeon on Wednesday for an injection."
