Lee Bowyer will be without Darren Pratley and Krystian Bielik for at least another two weeks.
The duo will miss the game against Plymouth at The Valley on Saturday, plus the trips to Luton next Saturday, and Scunthorpe the following Tuesday.
Bowyer will hope to have them available again when Coventry visit The Valley on 6 October, but the manager will not rush them back. He may opt to ease them back in at Stevenage in the Checkatrade Trophy game three days later.
Patrick Bauer will not require surgey on his knee, but will remain in a knee brace for the next six weeks. He may be sidelined for a little longer than originally thought.
Billy Clarke will be able to join in training again towards the end of next week. Clarke has been out since December, so is several weeks away from being fit enough to be considered for a first team return.
He will need to get a period of training under his belt before being slowly integrated back into competitive action via the Under-23s.
Bowyer will now be hoping for a respite from the long term injuries that have plagued the club.
